Speculation For The Next "F" Series Latitudes?

8790M confirmed (and currently appears to be the only option, no integrated-only); 4800MQ seems to be the only processor option to start. 1920x1040 or 1366x768 screens only -- 1600x900 not available (yet? at all?) and rather underwhelming screen specs overall (45% gamut?)


130W power supply appears to be required, boo!

Premier is showing a 6/25 ship date.

 

That is way too big power adapter for 4800MQ (47W) + 8790M (~20W), a 90W adapter would leave plenty of room.

 

Well considering how the ac can help the battery charge up to 45w/hr speed (express charge), 130w sounds reasonable under the highest consumption/charging condition.

 

Offering a 130W option would be good (just as some of the only 65W-minimum machines gave an option of ordering with 90W.) ExpressCharge is worth it for some people, but it should be left off by default; does not do anything good for the lifetime of the batteries.

The 130W supplies are huge, if not as bad as the 180W with the Precisions or the Lenovo W5xx.

When someone gets one, would be very curious to see whether they run normally (even if battery charge can be slow) on the regular 90W

eta: the spec sheet now says "90W or 130W" although it's not clear whether the 90W compatibility is only for some models (eg no discrete graphics, or dual core, or something like that.)

Leaked M3800 is looking likely to be my next model, rather than a Latitude.

 

Hi everybody !

I've found the spec sheet of Dell latitude E6440 : http://partnerdirect.dell.com/sites/channel/Documents/Dell-Latitude-E6440-Spec-Sheet.pdf

 

Yup. I searched around batteries and looks like E6440 ATG is also bound to be out! I am pretty excited but there are no design/pics available for the ATG line.... XFR line should be out with the 40s models as well!

 

Our Dell Rep mentioned the next Gen as probably the 2015 timeline but it will not be the F series rather the G series.

 

I talked with the Pro Support and he guesses November release!
