I personally love these machines I don't know why I don't see it more on here.

A Dell E207WFP I use as second monitor. 20 inch, 1650x1050, made in May 2008 according to the label. My dad nicked it from work.

I have an Xt3 which is this but a tablet form with 3g and touchscreen. Paid 120 dollars for an i7 and 8gb ram. Had it 3 years and still works like a champ.

Very cool OP.
Just upgraded my RAM to 8GB.
I will be adding a mechanical drive soon in place of the optical drive.

I bought it for $80 used and the 2540M still gets around 40% on Userbenchmark. With an SSD its actually pleasant to use for anything that isn't graphics intensive.

IPS X230 with Thinklight AND backlit keyboard. Super comfy in a dark bedroom before sleeping. I don't even know what I could upgrade it to. Later models lost serviceability. Who would ever want soldered RAM?

Sceptre 40" HDTV I used on my desk as a massive monitor. I almost bought a 4K one to replace it, but couldn't justify it.

Dell E4300 for me

I've got an e4310 and i fucking love it but i also subconsciously hope it dies soon so i can buy an x220

That thing is a fucking tank. We've got alot of them at work. They run OpenBSD very well.

I got some extended batteries for 15 bucks for those on ebay senpai

I got the 200 dollar spectre 4kfrom Amazon. It's not bad.

I've been saying I'd build a gaming PC when this things dies since 2012. I should just say fuck it and build one because this thing wont die.

can't really see how those two things are related, you'll be using them for different purposes anyway

Probably the last laptop with a good keyboard. Apple really fucked us with chiclets.

I have a ThinkPad T400 with 8GB RAM and two SSDs. I've replaced and re-celled the batteries multiple times, replaced the keyboard, and replaced the BIOS/clock battery once. It uses Coreboot with Tiano Core and runs Debian GNU/Linux and Windows 7 Ultimate. This machine literally will not die. I've been using it for an entire decade now.

Toshiba Satellite something or rather. Just keeps going. Running Windows 10 right now, probably going to be the system I learn Linux on. It just won't quit and I love it.

I'm using a Latitude E5450. Great laptop, only gripe is that the trackpoint is shit but the trackpad is good enough to make up for it.

My HP 8440P notebook. I bought the thing for 150 off of some Asian dude off craigslist who wouldn't stop scratching his face and had a huge stack of them for some reason. I was in a pinch and short on cash right after my white MacBook died. This thing still runs pretty well and has two hours battery life.

Despite me dropping it many times, leaving it in the cold, spilling shit on it, overheating it...the list goes on, but damn this thing just keeps holding on. There aren't even dead pixels in the display. What a tank.

We still have these being toted around by engineers at my work. We have to Frankenstein one back together every once and a while to keep them going but they never die completely.

The keyboard on these latitudes are god like and extremely quiet! The only downside is the cheap tn screen it comes with and battery draining pretty fast. But hey, I'd rather have 6 hours of desktop like experience than 12 hours of tablet time.

>t. Rocking dell latitude e5520

My shitty chromebook
I should probably trash it anyway and build a desktop

I still use a 2012 MacBook Pro. I've stuck 16 GB ram in it, and I just can't make myself upgrade to anything, it still runs like the day I got it and can do everything anything more modern can.

Dell Wfp2709. Got it for free from work after they said it was dead. 10 year old monitor still going strong. It has linea through it for the first 20 mins of it being on but they go away

My friend said that about his 2007 17 inch pro.

These are awesome. My cousin in IT got like 150 of these when the company switched the sales team to “”””””””””””chrome books””””””””””””so I got like 10 in my house, the keyboard is super comfy.

I have a Latitude E6400 that I bought refurbished on eBay. It's body is bruised but its spirit is still willing. It will complete 10 years in Feb 2018! :,-)

I finally gave in and bought a Vivobook S410U a few weeks ago. I hope to get 5 good years out of it.

I love my old E6400 but the CPU is pretty damn old (Centrino Core Duo). What's a great older Dell machine to upgrade to? Preferably one that takes 16GB RAM and has an i5/i7.

Yeah, these are great! Very reliable and have very comfy keyboard.

This is an intentionally cringey meme made by windows people to make mac people seem retarded, right?

Great laptop, I used one for many years. Got several Thinkpads after that, but came back to the Latitude series. Try to find a tricked out 7000 series. I'm still very happy with my E7440.

I upgraded to a Dell Precision m6700 from that laptop. Big ass laptop but it can kick someone's ass and be able to post about afterwards.

How's the latitude e7440?
They're on ebay for around 250€.
Cant find one locally so there

e5520 for me with i7 2640m, wont quit on me, still running strong, plus the ability to thrown it out of a window and have it still be strong and in one piece is good

same with a 2540p

you guys are so fucking retarded, didn't it ever occur to you to sell/give away if you want to upgrade?

Upgraded to the latest debian stable the last week, still works like a motherfucker, only a battery died once so far. It's a fucking tank.

>selling
No one will want this shit unless its a thinkpad

>giving away
Don't look when you next cross the road lmao

Thanks anons, as much as I love Thinkpads nothing gets me throbbing quite like a Latitude

are you stupid?

My Thinkpad T500, bought brand new in August 2009, with the 1680x1050 screen and the rapetastic T9600 processor. After upgrading the RAM to 8GB it manages to perform more than adequately for pretty much everything I throw at it. The impending death of Windows 7 is probably going to be what eventually prompts me to do away with this computer. I do admit that I bought a Surface 3 (non-pro) for grad school because I made the excuse that the T500 was too "big and bulky" to carry around and I needed a "secondary" device, but it never came close to replacing the Thinkpad. It's total ass. Doesn't pass the "just won't croak" test either, because it's already been replaced once under warranty, and I have a feeling the replacement unit is on its last legs.

Yeah the trackpoints on non-Thinkpad laptops are pretty terrible. If HP and Dell were smart (which they aren't), they'd realize that the Thinkpad patents have expired, and they'd get right to copying that design.

I knew someone in first year uni who had an E6500. The specs were shit but in terms of construction it was definitely the T500's equal. Good machines.

So throw shit out if it still works, basically? That seems so wasteful.

Late 2012 MBP. Finally started freezing and shit but that was just shitty new macOS, slapped linux on it and feels like fucking new. Also last one to be upgradeable, os I added and SSD and a bunch of RAM a few years back. I want a powerful desktop, but I don't actually need one and so cannot justify the expense.

I've put a very tacky carbon fibre vinyl on the rubber palm rest thing. I hate this shitty rubber, it was impossible to keep clean from dust, dust would even come off cleaning cloths and stick to it.

still have my e6430 too, its taken such a beating

Based.
The ONE thing that keeps the E6420 from being absolutely perfect in every way, is the lack of USB 3 support, gotta step up to E6430 for that. Both are indestructable.

Oced 2500k, I'll replace it anyway next year.

I have the i5 version, upgraded it to 16GB ram. I seriously couldn't see someone using it as a tabled with it weighting a hundred pounds even with the normal battery and an SSD.

I'll probably abandon the idea of having a gaming PC altogether once my 2500k proves to be inadequate. I just don't play enough anymore to justify the upgrade.

latitude e6320 here
really good laptop, runs great on linux for normal use
the 768p panel sucks tho, perhaps I'll get a new laptop with a 1080p screen sometime
next purchase will be a new phone tho first, probably the Mi A2

This thing. Dell Inspiron 1121. 1.2GHz i3-330UM processor, 250GB hard drive, 8GB of RAM. I ran this thing since I got it new in 2010. I still have it and it still works beautifully, though I've since cloned the drive to a 500GB replacement. I ran my business from it, it ran nearly 24/7 for years without issue. Earlier this year I pulled it back out to run the business after I fucked up my desktop. It supports two external monitors via the VGA output and the HDMI port, which came in handy as the 11" 1366x768 display was straining the shit out of my eyes.

The only problem with it now is that because the processor is so old it doesn't decrypt any newer video formats in the HD Graphics subsystem, causing it to overheat tremendously. I've posted Speccy shots here with temps as high as 95C, which is typically the point when it goes into thermal shutdown.

Barring that, it's a great little notebook

My ereader Pocketbook. You just don't have an excuse to upgrade it as it works just as good as new one.

OP here. Does anyone here have experience with Dell's newer Latitudes like the 7480 or 7490? If so, how are they and are they a worthy replacement for the 6420?

I ignore it.

I have an E5420 which I added RAM and SSD to, still fucking solid. It's also very compatible with Linux which is nice.

I totally agree. I'm a Thinkpad guy myself (first laptop was a T22 and I always owend one or two at time, now I'm settle with a Transnote and a X220) but was really impressed with a Dell E6230 I was given at work.
Really strudy, plenty of ports, compact and the most impressive feat than I've yet to see on a Thinkpad: onely one screw to remove the bottom cover and access RAM, SSD, mini-cards and fan ! Talk about ease of maintenance
