New Latitude 5470

got pic? you sure it's just not missing the adapter to sata port? there's no physical space for a 2.5"?

been meaning to post pics, here it is:

 

I think the same as in the 7450, we are using one in our company and has Nvidia 840M, checked today, no 2,5" drive space, only one mSATA for SSD and two M.2 (one for wireless LAN and one WWAN or SSD?).
Otherwise I have an 5570 at home and would like to increase the "free space" with WWAN slot, buing an additional M.2 SSD. I already has one 2,5" Samsung 850 EVO. Should be work together with 2242? I checked about 1 month ago without good result unfortunately an older version of bios, 1.3.8 (with Adata SP600 128GB - 2242), all wireless and all sata device was enabled. Unfortunately did not find as raw disk in the win 10 disk manager, so I sold it. Now I have the latest bios and plan to buy another one with minimum 256 GB (maybe from Trascend).

 

I think the internal layout is different. Perhaps someone with the dGPU can post a photo of inside?

The Transcend 2242 drive I got works perfectly as a data drive in both Windows and Linux on my system, but it is not bootable, so I had to move an EFI bootloader onto the main drive in order to get it working. Which actually proved a lot more convenient; on my M3800 I use F12 to boot into Linux, whereas on the new one it just prompts me for 30 seconds.

 

1. Thanks for the photo of the fan. It's a size smaller (47mm across the rim - same size as in my dGPU E7450) than the fan in my E5570 (53mm across the rim).
2. Looking at the photos in the E5470 user manual gives me the impression that the board layout is not significantly different between iGPU and dGPU versions. The dGPU, if installed, is next to the CPU and the computer has a longer heat pipe. This arrangement shows up clearly in my non-dGPU E5570 where the solder points on the board for the dGPU are visible.

3. Surely that is a 2.5" drive in the bottom right corner of the 2nd photo above? Note that the 2.5" drive and the M.2 2280 slot use the same location (this is clearly shown in the manual) so you can't have both.

picture is of my E5470 i7 6820hq IGP, no discrete card

so yes, there's a 2.5" drive (sharing space with M.2/PCIe NVMe 2280 slot), and a separate WWAN m.2 2242 slot

 

Thanks for that clarification. The heat sink shown on page 26 of the user manual looks to be longer than the one in your photo and my guess is that the dGPU is between screws 6 and 7. In this case the dGPU and 2.5" drive are not mutually exclusive.

Hey guys, I have one question for 5470 touchpad (I have 7470 but I guess they have the same one). It has this Alps touchpad and it makes me some trouble. How do you go back while sufing web? For me the two finger swipe back does not work so I use Backspace key which is lame. Do you have same problem?

 

Hello @paper_wastage , could you point me on how to activate the SSD?
I just got a E5570 (i5-6440HQ, igpu, 500GB HDD) and bought a ADATA 256 SSD which i installed in the WWAN port. But Win (7 for now) doesn't see it, nor do i know what option should i use in BIOS to activate it.
Thanks in advance

 

See this post.

Reading through this interesting discussion, I'd just like to point out that the discussion around the weight of the 5510 seems to have caused some misunderstandings.

Initially, somebody suggested the weight of the Precision M5510 (2.02kgs , 4.45lbs), while later, that was confused for a Latitude E5510 (2.63kg, 5.8lbs).
