Sorry Enes, I really don't know.
I mean obviously sites like anandtech will have agonizingly complete breakdowns when it comes out, but before then...


Well, the newer Latitudes can't hold a candle to the old ones like Orco's 830 when it comes to durability and easy maintenance, they don't use magnesium reinforcements any more, the keyboard isn't as tightly attached to the case, and on most of them, you have to remove the hole back plate, including numerous tiny screws and easily breakable plastic clips to get to the hardware, though when you finish that, you do have access to almost everything; fan, HHD/SSD, RAM, battery, even wireless card, ETC.


Also, your just not going to be able to afford a new one, so without a ton of digging in the more obscure deal sites, here's the best one I could find.
Dell Latitude E5470 Refurbished
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Latitude-Bu … 7817224011
Here's a good review
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Lati … 556.0.html
Only things they don't mention are that the g, h, f, and D keys, function keys, and especially enter key are smaller than usual, and of course the model on amazon has a 500GB 7200RPM HDD not an SSD, a touchscreen, and no fingerprint reader.

PREPARE
YOUR
ANUS!

Even though you're probably no longer interested in a Vostro, I checked my dad's and it's an I5, and the sound card is realtek. It's only 2.3ghz, but thanks to the SSD it still seems pretty quick for every day use. I think it was a bargain at £350.

hi all,
I am definitely trying to get an eighth gen H processor when it comes out. Apparently, intel and AMD got together to add a discrete graphics card directly into the processor. It sounds really cool. Here is the article

A learning experience is one of those things that say, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."
