It's that just a Latitude with firepro graphics?

Wish there was a clear shot of the keyboard. Looks nice though, and good to see an option slotted in below the m3800.

I don't about the new machine but the picture looks identical to latitude e6540. Latitude E6540 Secure Business Laptop Details | Dell

 

I actually like the look and design of the e6540 case, but anyone think Dell will be on the ball enough to offer this with an IPS RGB screen, and improved cooling solution? If this ends up suffering from the same thermal/ throttling problems that seem to be plaguing the e6540, it will be a disaster.

 

I was wondering whether it will have one fan or two.

Keep dreaming. This is supposed to be an entry level workstation. Also, Dell moved to offering QHD displsys as their premium option. But there is no way this laptop will offer that. I expect dual core only cpu, so then 16gb max ram. 1080p will require an upgrade 1600x900 standard. Dell will work hard to not cannibalize M4800 sales.

This is just a beefed up Latitude. Nothing much to see hear. Very disappointing..

 

I think it's good that they offer a Latitude with firepro graphics. It's just that they shouldn't cheapen the Precision brand with this.

Its chassis remember me the old XPS 15 L501x/L502x
