![]() Unfortunately they're mSATA, which makes them expensive to upgrade, and the SSD is incredibly difficult to replace (thanks HP for the shortest keyboard cable in the history of keyboard cables!). Only 120GB SSD's, but they're perfect for clients that don't store much. I also picked up a huge lot of HP Elitebook Folio's for $82 apiece. Can pick those up A grade all day long for $250 apiece and resell for $700+. Lenovo has been releasing more attractive models in the last few years, but I won't be selling them until I can get them for $200 to $300 and resell for $600 to $900. I sell 80% Dell Latitudes and 20% HP's for the clients that are more picky about looks. Lenovo: Ugly as sin and they tend to put the model number right in the most obvious place, which makes price-shopping far too easy. HP: Lower quality/more likely to break - almost a toss-up between a Probook/Elitebook or a regular home class from another brand. It really sucks that the only three business class choices are Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Swap it out and put it in the "for parts" pile. Not worth the time/effort to replace the board. This is why I always have a spare of every Latitude on hand. Can you? Intel says the HD4600 supports it "in theory", but I've never encountered anyone actually doing so through the docking station.ĭ) No chance of adding a 56k Fax/modem, right? The E0/30 support this, but I can't see any provision in the E6440.Eh, it happens sometimes. Any similar place to do so on the E6440?ī. ) Can anyone contemplate getting a second set of WLAN antennas into the laptop? I'd like to install a second WLAN card into the 3rd miniPCI-E slot.Ĭ) Despite all my Google searches, I haven't been able to find anyone claiming to have hooked one of these laptops up to 4K (3840x2160) display(s). I modded my D830 to include a GPS antenna by routing it into the PCMCIA slot and dremelling out a chunk of the handrest. Opens up a lot of doors, that's for sure.Ī) My WWAN card (Sierra Wireless MC7700) has provisions for an active GPS antenna. Since the E7440/E7450 screen is retro-fittable into the eDP versions of the E6440, might it be possible to have a 1440p-screen equipped E6440?īut on that note, just the ability to swap screens is quite interesting, as one could buy a E7450 with the cheap 1366x766 screen (or a dead screen) a couple years from now, and swap the 1080p screen in place. I notice that the new Latitude E7470 has a 1440p LCD option. Was trying to buy an E6430, but the laptops on eBay with 1600x900 screens were so run down and being bid to stratospheric levels that I jumped on the chance to buy a decent refurb 1080p E6440 when I found one. Any ideas?Īfter running into a brick wall for RAM on my pimped out WUXGA Dell Latitude D830 (just not economic to buy 4gb DDR2 SODIMMS!!! - >$50 a piece on eBay, and I'd still be left with a mostly obsolete laptop in need of a new LCD), I just bought one of these, "refurb", for $300 with a pretty decent configuration including the 1080p display, and i5-4310M CPU. ![]() Has anyone had similar experiences at all? I can't find any posts anywhere that sounds like the same issue. I can't get it to reliably do the same thing twice in a row, so this is getting rather frustrating to troubleshoot. Also, occasionally if I uninstall and reinstall video drivers for the eGPU when it isn't working, it will begin working until the next reboot or sleep cycle. I have Setup 1.30 configured to disable dGPU and initialize the eGPU. About once every 12 reboots or so, it works fine, but most of the time it does the exact same thing, just with my dGPU not showing up in device manager. So, now I have the same setup and it works sometimes. ![]() Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. ![]() This is my first attempt at such a setup, so I'm not sure if I'm missing something painfully obvious or not. If I install the latest nvidia drivers, the card displays and error 43 in device manager. Quick Fix: After disabling the USB ports on Device Manager the notifications stopped, unfortunately the user wont be able to use any USB-based. Let me know your thoughts Dell community. Although Im not an electrical engineering Im open to any suggestions. So far, the card shows up in device manager with status "device is working properly." I can't find any issues with it, though my system will not detect any external monitors attached to the card, nor do I see it showing up anywhere but device manager. After all of this I think theres a likelihood the system board has some power issues. I've been trying to get a GTX 570 to work with my 6440 for a few days now. ![]()
