Review Dell Latitude E5530 Notebook

[Redaktion]

Powerful Essentials. Dell's Latitude E5XXX series has long been an affordable alternative to the highest-end Latitude notebooks without sacrificing the essentials.  Can the E5530, with its brand-new Ivy Bridge chipset and other minor tweaks, top its predecessors?

Great review, thanks! I own the E5520 and I'm really happy with it, totally agree about the keyboard it's amazing, a really sturdy & easy to work with laptop. You can't go wrong with a Latitude.

Thanks for the great review. It was definitely worth reading each session.

Why do these models have the touchpad so off center? As a right-hander, I am constantly right-clicking when I intend to left-click. I hate it.

Can someone confirm that the E5530 can support 16GB (2x8GB).  Just purchased on from Dell with 2GB of RAM and looking to order more RAM

[Allen.Ngo]

hi Chris,

Yes, each slot supports up to 8 GB for a total of 16 GB as stated in the review.

I was wondering about the noise. I usually work in a library and I'm concerned this may be a problem. Can adjusting the power profiles reduce the noise to an acceptable lever? If so, will it have a negative impact on the performance or will it be an acceptable one?

Great Work. I have a question. I´m thinking on buying this laptop for photography retouching work. I own the Dell U2711 27 inches with 2560x1440.
Is it possible to connect it to the monitor to get the same resolution? Maybe with a VGA to DVI cable? Or do i have to buy the Docking Station?

The specs on the Dell UK sites say this is 2.38kg or 5.25lbs rather than 2.87kg/6.4lbs quoted here. Can anyone confirm the weight? Thanks.

The Latitude E6x30 is quite popular as a mobile DAW because of its robustness and, once configured the right way, its system stability with external audio devices. Since I work with a dockingstation anyway, I have enought connections and don't need the highest robustness.

I was wondering if the E5540 has the same motherboard (of course minus some usb ports etc.), i.e. technical "layout"/features and BIOS?
That would make it a great and less expensive alternative to the E6530. Unfortunately, the review otherwise great doesn't say much about the technical difference between the E5530 and the E6530.

I I just got this laptop yesterday and I would have to disagree with your assessment of the lid.

The brushed aluminum is a nice feature, however, it does NOT resist finger prints or smudges. When I took it out of the box I touched the lid and it left a finger print. I wiped and wiped, but the print remained. Today, that finger print is still on it. I'm not sure how to remove it.

If you're OCD about how your things look, I would steer away from the brushed aluminum. At least the gloss finish can be easily wiped clean if the prints bother you.

(I have photos if anyone is interested)
