Latitude E-Series Anticipation Thread

That is DEFINITELY not what I got. I'll check and re-check the boxes tonight for a similar wedge.

 

yay i got my 6400 finally!

and its quiet. mission accomplished. i bought a m1330 a year ago and returned it because the fan was noisy and on all the time. this does not have that problem

 

Guess, YouGotYourQuietLaptop, eh?

Rick, thanks for the sleuthing, can't believe I was accused of Photoshopping! It's just a typo on Dell's part. Sheesh! Sorry, I am looking at this thread a little late, have had no Internet past few days...

anyone have any advice (with reasons) for whether it is worth delaying the shipment of my e6500 by paying another 25 bucks for the Bluetooth 410 (with UWB) rather than the 370? At current, I only occasionally use my bluetooth for phone syncs. I think itll make it here before friday if i don't reorder.

 

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up. E4300 and E4200 is now for sale!

 

So much for that idea. the E4300 starts at $1750 and the E4200 at $2050.

 

Might as well just get the X301 lol

 

no guidance at all on the UWB question?

The one I talked to said that the 32GB drive is about $600 cheaper than the 128GB drive. He told me the 32GB and 128GB drive are made by SanDisk and the 64GB is a high-performance Mtron drive - the reason for the 64GB drive actually being more expensive than the 128GB drive.

I told the salesman that I didn't plan to spend more than X amount of money which made him a bit desperate so he shaved off about $500 extra dollars which the manager approved

In the end I got an E4200 with most features "maxed out" - except for the smaller drive - at much less than the base price. The total ended up at 18.440 SEK incl. VAT and shipping. I live in Sweden where computers are a bit more expensive so I guess this figure will only be of use to Swedes.

Expected delivery date is on or before 27th october Reason being that Dell haven't received any of the E4200 CPUs yet.

 

SanDisk SSDs suck.
