New Latitude and Precision's

hm..oh no what should I do now..take the old e6500 with the old architecture or the smaller e6410...hmm.

what`s with the design, it seems the e6510 needs a new chassis or?

 

They still seem similar, actually equal, in terms of GPU, ports etc.. With regard to CPU, I am not sure if a 14.1" notebook could deal fine with the heat of a quadcore + nvidia (I would be interested in hearing opinions).

I am really really happy that Dell kept 16:10 at least in E6410. It seems that Dell is following the more careful approach adopted by Lenovo, including 16:9 just in its 15" line instead of just accepting 16:9 in all lines like (stupid... IMHO) HP.

To be perfect, the E6410 should just have switchable graphic card Anyway, I am happy!

 

Lenovo claimed they wanted to maintain 16:10 across the board, but they were forced to switch in the 15" size but were able to offer both in the 14" (and will stick to 16:10 in the 17" size). Dell seems to mimic this, while HP abandoned 16:10 in the 14" size though it appears they could have held on there if they wanted.

 

glad I ordered a 6500 for myself recently after seeing the 6510 go to 16:9, the new cpu architecture doesn't really mean a lot to me right now anyways.

 

I would do the same if I wanted a 15" machine. I was waiting exactly to decide between E6400 or E6410 (I think 15", if 15.4" or 15.6", is too big for me).

 

The reason I say this is the E6400 and 6500 shared the processor selection, same memory and almost everything else aside from display.

Now the 6510 gets a Quad Core i7 and faster memory and much larger screen that is a pretty major difference if you ask me.

 

Maybe sweets to make people swallow better the 16:9 screen (HP sweet was USB 3.0 before even Intel schedule).

 

E6410... BIG WIN, YESSSSS!!!! Thanks for the great news!!

Second that!! ^^,

 

looks like i'll be sticking with my m4400 then. 14" dont have enough power for me and 17" is too cumbersome. i suppose its not horrible with a 1080 screen, but ugh- i want my WUXGA!!

 

I really don't think the 16:9 is a big deal in a 15" size. 90% of the users in my company will always be docked looking at a real monitor.

This would only effect those not using a dock, the for travel the 65xx is not all that small anyway. Point being is I don't understand why business people would want to stare at a small 14 or 15" 16:9 or 16:10 when you could have a normal display attached.
