Shame we can't buy. I would have like it to be able to stick is into my E6400.
But here Dell doesn't mention it's a long lasting battery, just a normal one with a 3 year warranty, and reduce capacity (81Whr).

 

There was some talking about The possibility of using external graphics cards on the e6400 in the middle of the thread.
I have a pcmcia slot. Can i get a ati 5770 to work at 80% or more ?
Or maybe connect it straight to the motherboard or docking port somehow?
Thanks

 

The description says "3 year time-time" and, AFAIK, the batteries are interchangeable.

John

 

Forget what i said
express gets about 60%
i think its not usable
ill built a desktop

 

Yea but Dell will say "It's normal battery behavior that it reduces charge over time... have a nice!"

 

Anyone know how can i swap my cardbus slot for a expresscard one? maybe 2.0?

 

I believe you need to change the mainboard. There are 4 basic mainboard configuration options: Integrated graphics with either PC card or Expresscard or dedicated graphics with either PC card.

I have integrated graphics 4500MHD
Its a Dell ATG model.
I cant believe you have to swap the mainboard because this is a peripheral nothing more and its connected to the pci slot.

 

Im aslo ready to take the mediabay out when using a external gpu.
can i use that slot somehow?
Or a dock, i cant find any with a express card slot
