    Which one would you guys recommend? I am planning to get one from Dell Outlet and with the build quality issues with E6420 I am just a little concerned.

    Thanks!

    the build quality is decent, its more of some very poor design decisions that make it a step back from the E6410 plus it looks horrible IMO

    It all boils down to what you do with your machine? You render like crazy or do programming? You'd probably be better off with Sandy Bridge and the E6420. Overall business tasks that aren't extremely taxing? Go with the E6410, it will be cheaper and better looking. ;)

    Thanks guys.. Overall business tasks is what I am looking at and maybe the occasional movie. Looks like E6410 is the way to go.

    Also, the E6410 has the 16:10 display, which most users prefer. The 1440 x 900 (WXGA+) displays are preferable to the 1280 x 800 (WXGA).

    Can anyone comment on the difference in screen quality between the E6410 (1440 x 900) and the E6420 (1600 x 900)?

    Ordered the E6410 guys.. thanks for all the advice. Was tempted to go with the Thinkpad T4xx series from Lenovo but decided to go with Dell.
