Well, on a whim I ordered a Latitude E6540 from Dell the other day.<\/p>\nWell, on a whim I ordered a Latitude E6540 from Dell the other day.<\/p>\n
I’ve been waiting for a decent laptop with a Haswell processor and discrete graphics since July and the E6540 seemed to fit the bill. \u00a0It wasn’t cheap ($1700), but it included an Intel i7-4800MQ Quad-core CPU and an AMD Radeon HD 8790M GPU. \u00a0It would also work with my Dell pr02x dock, had a 1080p anti-glare screen and included a 500GB SSD (or so I thought).<\/p>\n
I didn’t want to spend that much, but I figured for a 500GB SSD (worth about $400) it was worth it. \u00a0After placing the order I read the specs closer and realized it came with a 500GB Solid State Hybrid<\/span> Drive, not a 500GB Solid State Drive. \u00a0Man, rarely does one work make such a difference.<\/p>\n Without the 500GB SSD, I decided it was not worth $1775 to me, maybe closer to $1400 – $1500. \u00a0I sent a request to cancel it (2 hours later) but the rep had left for the day. \u00a0It will probably be delivered today or tomorrow. \u00a0I’ve already notified Dell that I will be sending it back without opening it.<\/p>\n And so my quest for a new laptop continues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ComputerAbuser<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, on a whim I ordered a Latitude E6540 from Dell the other day.<\/p>\n I’ve been waiting for a decent laptop with a Haswell processor and discrete graphics since July and the E6540 seemed to fit the bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[6],"tags":[171,182,181,64,13],"class_list":["post-1848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","tag-dell","tag-laptop","tag-latitude","tag-sale","tag-video-games"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p11UM6-tO","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1848"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1848\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1851,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1848\/revisions\/1851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.computerabuser.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
