Wow, you're right, replies don't seem to be working at the moment. I know most of the time, when I use @ its because I'm replying to a reply, which you can't normally do.

Back on topic, thats a very nice looking laptop, something I would expect from the XPS line, not a Latitude. Hopefully a sign of things to come]]>Feb 1st 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/
He's being civil, I was going to say it looks sexier than this woman at work who likes wearing short skirts all the time. inch after inch of smooth chocolate legs just cause my entire office to be on giant release valve with kilo-tons of back pressure waiting to open day after day.

Someone once tried to get her to change her attire, but of course not a single male mind wanted that to happen, so it didn't (and we were rewarded with low cut V-necks, exposing most of what have to be C-cups at least).]]>Feb 1st 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 6th 2008 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/
The Latitudes are incredibly well made and sturdy. I am very pleased with my D430 and these look even more impressive. I'm curious to see more specs about the 13.3 and 12 inch models.

By the release date, I think it is quite obvious these will use Penryn. I expect the 13.3" model to have an optical drive; the 12" will probably be an ultraportable and not have an internal optical drive. I've used my external optical drive 3 times in 5 months, but then, I have daemon tools and Windows file sharing with a desktop machine (both of which put Apple's solution to shame).]]>Feb 1st 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/i was about to buy the MBA before it was announced and was quite dissapointed to know it was 3 lbs. im holding out for the lenovo u110 in the mean time...]]>Feb 1st 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 29th 2008 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/
They will all have terrible onboard speakers, and all will be available with integrated video.

The 14 and 15" models will have a low end quadro mobile about equal to what you can get in a low end dedicated graphics on the Vostro/Inspiron.

So they won't be gaming machines or multimedia machines but they will be quite nice for everything else. Great battery life, good non-gloss screens, fast, quiet, and now they won't look as bland as they did before.]]>Feb 1st 2008 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/

Anywho..

@anon

Do you know of ANY PC laptop that can't run Linux? And since Linux is free, it's not a factor in the pricing...

Soooo...

Why even bring this up? Of course it can run Linux.

On the other hand, at least you didn't *sigh* about it not being able to run MacOS X, so one biscuit for you.]]>Feb 1st 2008 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/

Several Latitude series laptops have discrete graphics. For instance, my d830 has a NVidia Quadro NVS140M card in it. Yeah, it's still not a gaming card, but better than integrated graphics.]]>Feb 1st 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/
I think he was making the linux remark more because dells tend to be easier to get up and running with linux distros than some other brands. they tend to use linux-friendly components more often (possibly because they spec some of their models with ubuntu??]]>Feb 1st 2008 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/
The E has been a long time coming and will finally be able to keep up with the latest and greatest from Dell's business-class competitors. Long live Latitude E!

Design-wise the lid looks great, like it's brushed aluminum, though I have doubts that Dell would go that direction and increase material costs. But maybe I'm too used to the molded magnesium D lids. I really want to see how they put together the rest of the chassis, because that rear angle doesn't show much more than the lid and hinge. All the ports must be on the left side because they're sure as hell not on the rear or right!]]>Feb 1st 2008 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2995&review=Asus+W3J]]>Feb 1st 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/Feb 1st 2008 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/01/dell-latitude-e-series-leaked/
I have one of Dell's business laptops, and the speakers are pretty good.

Asus is Dell's OEM for several of their notebooks. It wouldn't be unusual to see similar designs.
