    Yes I have used the E6420 and I did not like it at all. For me it feels bulkier and heavier than my returned E6410. Also the orange trim should not belong on a business notebook. And if you look across this Latitude forum for the E6420, you'll see signs of poor build quality. Using ThinkPads, I prefer them over Latitudes, though last generation comes close, and I prefer the D series over the E series.

    Agreed. The only hope I have is that the Lenovo X220 is priced at $2,200 and usually has an $850 discount. Our Dell reps had told me that the XT3 would be less expensive than the XT2. We were hoping for a price similar to a well spec'd E6320.

    x220 tablet "retail" is 2000+ but x220i tablet starts at low 1100, and probably can be had under 1000 with coupons. With outdoor screen you are looking at 1300...so x220 tablet is cheaper and has an IPS display...
