Latitude E6400 Owner's Lounge, Part 2

ok...deleted... image will be uploaded in awhile

 

hmm, I don't think he meant a screen shot... cause here you are showing how good your GPU can produce colors.
He meant take a good camera out, probably configure it for the environment to not alter the actually screen, and take a picture of the screen itself.

 

Thank you MDR8850, i highly appreciate it!, very nice pictures of different environments, goodbytes thank you for correcting him. The screen is so lush with amazing colors, got to love LG! The machine comes today but i won't see it until the evening.

 

related note :: e6x10 machines released today -- sadly, they do not have USB 3.0

 

Hey guys, I decided to join the club and buy a used E6400. I have a couple of questions though. I did not get the restore CDs with the E6400 I bought and the restore partition has been removed. Will Dell send me the CDs if I ask? And two, anyone know were I can download the Dell wallpaper? Thanks.

 

i understand price might be a big factor, but given that the e6510 and e6410 were just released today, you ought to seriously consider returning your machine and buying one of the newer ones in a month once refurbished begin to come available.

as for the CDs, they will probably send them to you -- although is there a particular reason you want them?

 

I did not realize the new Latitudes were released today. (Been too busy to read the tech news today.) I will have to go check that out. But I did not spend much for it so I am not too concerned about that. I really intend on using it as a "filler" PC until I find something else.

It is not huge deal. I installed Windows 7 as soon as I got it. I was just wanting the Vista Business disk so if I decide to resell it in a few months I can restore it its original OS as I do not want to include my copy of W7 Pro with it.

EDIT: After looking at the E6410 I must say my first impression is of disappointment. Other than shedding weight and upgrading hardware there seems to be little change. The lighter weight would always be nice, and I am sure the Core processors would get get better battery life, but given that 90% of what I use my notebook for is web browsing there seems little reason to jump on a E6410 right now. But thanks letting me know. I might still do that down the road as the E6400 seems like a descent machine based on my first impressions.

 

See this thread for the wallpaper. The link in my post still works.

Thanks John, I should have thought to search the forums first.

 

i hear you on this, but it is pretty standard for a minor upgrade -- in fact, it is fairly substantial for dell on one of these upgrades -- i owned a d8x0 series machine through the years of upgrades, and it saw even less per iteration. the only thing i was really hoping for and didnt see on the new ones is usb3.0 -- although apparently that is the fault of intel, and not dell.
