Welcome to corporate IT. Windows 7 still is not approved for use in my company but Vista is, and therefore a Vista option is what my company would want. Not everything that works with Windows Vista works with Windows 7, as strange as that may sound (Mercury Quality Center 9, for example, just doesn't play with IE8) and that is what seems to be holding back our Windows 7 deployment. Frankly, I'm still stuck with bloody XP...]]>Mar 30th 2010 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/More about the E6410: http://bit.ly/dell-latitude-e6410-prev]]>Apr 2nd 2010 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/Mar 30th 2010 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/Mar 30th 2010 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/It may be old school, but show me the Ramada Inn conference room projector that's rocking HDMI, and I'll eat my cat.]]>Mar 30th 2010 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/
My E6500 has a display port on the back of it, which can also be used as HDMI or DVI with the right cable. As I assume this new revision will share similar connections (as it looks identical to mine), this new laptop will support VGA, DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI.

Oh, and don't get me started on the speakers of this thing. I'm not expecting Bose or the like but silence is better than what this thing does to music. Tinny doesn't even begin to describe it. ]]>Mar 30th 2010 9:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/
I've the E5400 with a 2.8GHz C2D and it's fine... A processor is a processor, it's probably what you've done to Windows which makes it slow (Dell don't bundle any bloatware with their professional line).

It's also a business laptop, hence the poor speakers.

The remote management features are also great. But hey, to each their own, right?]]>Mar 30th 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/
With all due respect, I've not done anything with Windows that isn't normal. There is no excuse for it being as slow as this. I used to run a virtualised instance of Windows on a 2.33GHz C2D with 1GB RAM assigned, using the same software, and it was no slower (hardly a speed demon either). I realise that a virginal PC is always going to be faster but this is a real world scenario and the E6400 is, frankly, rubbish so I have no reason to suppose that these new versions will be any different.

So, feel free to buy if you just want to run Notepad but my advice is to look elsewhere if you want to put MS Office on it.]]>Mar 30th 2010 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/
It's clear that you did something to your machine's Windows installation to slow it down. I work at a university that has deployed a large number of E6400s, and even with our software package they're quite snappy.

Like archkron said, a processor is a processor. Two computers from different companies with the same specs will run the same given the same software.

Not that I'd assume that this is the case with you, but it honestly sounds like you have some sort of beef with Dell.]]>Mar 31st 2010 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/
"It's clear that you did something to your machine's Windows installation to slow it down."

Like what? As I said, there is nothing unusual installed on this PC that I would not expect to be installed on a business laptop (home users can skip some of the crap, of course). On the other hand, it is possible that I am expecting better performance than what is possible on this machine. However, I don't think you could ever call this machine "snappy".

To be fair, my "beef" with Dell is that all the machines I have had from them over the years (another Latitude and an Optiplex in the past) have been very poor. I was hoping for better things with the new laptop but I have not seen it. As I said, my recommendation is to avoid these computers. If these are considered to be good then I honestly shudder to think what a bad computer would be like.]]>Mar 31st 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/Mar 30th 2010 9:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/The new E6410 is also available here in Portugal, urray Dell!!!

Of course, you have to go through the Home side to get ANYTHING you wouldn't be embarrassed to pull out in a meeting (but I acknowledge their efforts to change that with announcements such as outlined in this article). BUT..... And here's the 'but'...

It is has become impossible to ignore the HUGE price difference b/t comparable models offered by state-side vendors (specifically Dell and HP) vs. (e.g.) an ASUS. I HATE it, but we're talk 30% to 100% and I can't ignore that any more.

Plus, it just seems that the basic configurations at Dell and HP are really lacking vs. Asian manufacturers. For example, the vid card on this Dell model is low-range, Class 3 CRAP. And, as I am reminded often by my MSFT executive neighbor, 8GB memory and 64-bit OS should be the absolute starting memory on ANY Win 7 box??

Anyway..... Just needed to rant about this a bit.]]>Mar 30th 2010 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/dell-latitude-e6410-and-e6510-emerge-overseas-core-i5-i7-and/
