Dell Latitude E6400 vs E6500

With these two machines is the only difference the screen size & weight?

Has anyone got either of these and would recommend one?

I'm going for the E6400, you're correct in the fact that the only difference is the extra 1Kg for the larger screen. They both do the same resolution.

When I get it'll let you know.

There are too many Dell choices!

Found a good deal on a M1530

(2.40ghz, 4GB, 500GB, BLUE Ray, 2 Year Warranty) for £616 delivered.

But I can't get an LED screen on this deal, but can get high res ones.

Or I could get a maxed our Dell Studio 15, but go crazy and get the 1920x1200 screen

I still can't decided, previously I have had both Inspiron & Latitude machines and preferred the Latitude.

But the Studio 15 seems a good deal.

eBay, new but a cancelled order or something.

Only 1 year warranty but can be extended.

Found out it even has the backlit keyboard.

Arrives tomorrow

I've been pondering an E5500 or E6500 and the specification of the one you've ordered nomally costs around twice that amount which is a larger saving than I expected for a returned unit/cancelled order.

If it's in good condition then its excellent value

Arrived today!

Perfect condition, its an awesome machine. However might be wiser to get a E6400 screen is a touch too big. (Or go for the high res 1600 screen)

Best keyboard ever!
