    Hi!
    I'm looking for a Dell laptop with fingerprint reader or smartcard reader (even better if it has TPM module), not less than 8GB.
    Its weight must be less than 3Kg.

    There exist something (excluding possibly the workstation) that match this requisite?

    Moreover, exist something with mSATA+HDD or directly double HDD support?

    Thanks in advance

    A lot of current or semi current Latitudes will take mSATA and a HDD while also going with the rest of your requirements.

    Looks like the E7450 will take a standard drive and a m2 format. Might want to confirm that with an owner or Dell just to be on the safe side though.

    Thanks for your reply.
    The E7450 seems perfect, but are you sure about the double hard disk?
    Because looking in the dell's product page it talks only about 'mini ssd' option, which I suppose is the mSATA board

    The E7440 has dual drive options, but it is possible that this isn't the case for the E7450, see if you can find pictures of the internals.

    There's some very handy information in this topic, specifically this post:
    Latitude 7450 Owners' Thread
    My understanding is that there's two versions of the 7450, one with a discrete graphics card and no 2.5mm bay and one with integrated graphics and the 2.5mm bay. The integrated version has an m2 slot for the WWAN card but so far I don't think anyone has managed to get an SSD working in there.
