Love my latitude, i love if i had something where i live to upgrade it to modern sandards. Use to have place but the closed, sad cause the were major help with an old pc i had and helped replace some parts of it over time.
This is my first laptop and i learned many things from it. From upgrading to windows 10, learning legacy and UEFI boot and updating bios. I also try to use the windows 7 oem key to activate my newly installed windows 10 home and it works. Cool.
Good review for those unaware, you can add 16 Gb of ram to max it out and add 1 Tb ssd drives (2) total and potentially 1 M2 hard drive internally for some decent storage. If you want more gfx power get one with a better card nvida etc. I recommend getting the 15 inch version with the number pad as this graciously increases the screen real estate. These are work horse computers and are super easy for fix for the cost. My standard go to system for value.
@@chinmayhiremath5228 normally for these, since the cost is super cheap, I would max out the ram as it can hold 16 Gb successfully. I would strongly suggest taking the cpu out and cleaning it from the old paste and put the newer paste on. Dust it out. Make sure the GPU inside is also cleaned and new paste if needed. Remove the CD/DVD drive and put in a replacement HDD caddy that looks like a cd/dvd but gives you extra storage. You could put 2 SSD's inside now. I would suggest a 200-300 GB OS drive and a 500 to 1 Tb drive for data. Technically you could put 3 but you'd be giving up wireless so that depends on you and how you want to use msata. If you want the absolute best performance buy a i7, you'd have to use dell tech specs guide for the laptop to identify the fastest chipset it supports but it should be quad or 8 core if I recall. They are dirt cheap in 2021. As far as external gpu (if you want one), then use whatever external gpu, case and power you want as it should support whatever you want. I've done an external gpu with a laptop even older than this and it worked wonders for gaming. I would put an external monitor on it and call it a day :)
@@chinmayhiremath5228 one thing to keep in mind because these are decent on battery life but drain power fast, make sure you update the bios completely and all driver firmware. Also buy a laptop fan/mount/case to put it on, since it gets VERY hot. I've played games such as Diablo 1, DIablo 2 and Starcraft 1 and 2 with absolutely no issues. I've played other Blizzard-based games and it runs like a champ (if you're using an external GPU). If you use the internal GPU game speeds are likely between 20 Fps up to 50 Fps depending on settings. Exzternal gpu your only limited by the port you're using so you should be able to see 80-120 FPS if not more. Please be aware that during this COVID Pandemic, you may not have easy access to the best cards. But even if you pickup from a Fry's or Best Buy a decent low end video card for at or under 100 bucks it's going to go to work on your games. You'd likely be able to do medium to high end settings. If you want the best you're going to have to pay 250.00 and up.

Missed several upgrades that make this machine still compete with todays WORK laptops. - Upgrade the main HD to a 1TB SSD (that is an easy one) - The laptop actually supports 16GB of Ram if you upgrade to the latest BIOS - WiFi card can be upgraded to the latest Intel AX200 WiFi 6 so you can get 2.4Gbps speeds I already did these upgrades on my old laptop and it really makes it lightning fast. The extra memory is the big one because it is shared with the Video card. Using a docking station it can handle 2 monitors (3 if you have the laptop open) at 1080p quality. With those upgrades it is an extremely fast laptop that is still very good to work on.
@@nathanj7423 no, it's impossible to upgrade the graphics card. However if you upgrade the memory on the laptop then the graphics card already on the laptop will work better because it uses part of your memory for its memory. I did forget to mention this is probably one of the only laptops I ever seen where you can upgrade the processor. I upgraded mine to a quad core and bought the stronger cooler for it. So it went from a Dual Core to a Quad! You must get the better cooler with additional heat pipes if not it will over heat.
I took a E6540 on vacation last summer. It's sporting an i5 quad core. Most of my co-workers prefer the 65X0 series with the larger keyboard. The one I had was Intel GFX, but it ran Fallout 3 and New Vegas very well. I replaced the HDD with a Samsung 250GB EVo 850 SSD and the DVD drive with a 1TB Western Digital Black via a bay hdd adapter. The new 6570 have no DVD drive, but you can do dual drives via the msata and 2.5" bays. In a pinch there are 2.5" drive adapters that will support dual Msata drives for raid or dual drive configurations if you wanted more drives or redundancy...
Changing hdd to ssd would likely make your pc more silent and a bit more fast. Including much faster turn on. Or adding one though you would need to add a caddy as well (6-20eur)
This was the most capable laptop that Dell has ever release. Even the non-ATG model was rugged enough to take in the field every day and small enough to not dread carrying it around,
@Kent Teffeteller I actually totally agree. I still manage a fleet of these and they just work. I do like the newer, thinner and more powerful versions of these. You really can't go wrong, these models are the "Apple" of the PC world
I upgraded my E6420 XFR to an i7-2820QM Quad-Core Hyperthread and 16G RAM. The additional 10W of TDP didn't make much of a difference, and I use HWiNFO64 to control its fan speed. The XFR's touchscreen and daylight viewable display is a real plus, and the upgrades made it future-proof at least for another few years. Great little machines. As for an upgrade, something similar to my Dell M4700 mobile workstation might work well for you - I also maxed out the RAM (32G) and upgraded the CPU to an i7-3840QM.
Hi Michael great XFR upgrade, any tips doing it ? just got an XFR & want to upgrade..maybe the 2860qm vs the one you have ? too hot ? too much battery? please offer any advice upping the CPU
was able to find the e6520 model with the i7 2760qm processor, 8gb of 1600mhz ram, a 256gb ssd for $120. it has the 900p display which I think is good enough for a 15" display, the 1080p version I feel would sap too much battery life. I still feel like I got a crazy deal. Definitely not as pretty as newer laptops but it definitely performs right up there with the best of them
Just upgrade my E6420 to 16GB Ram, works flawlessly and passes all tests. Computer recognized it, If anyone needs help just make a reply on my videos, I only hae one or 2 public, don't mind the intoxication. 16Gb is awesome and I heard the Sandy Bridge quade core will accept 2 gb Ram, I can conirm 16 GB 2X8 GB, great price too. Its A-Tech 16GB 2 x 8GB PC3-12800 Laptop SODIMM DDR3 1600 Memory RAM PC3L 16G DDR3L Message me under a video of mine i you need any help. Cheers
Also from what I have read that Sandy bridge processor that’s in this can work with 32 GB of RAM. I haven’t seen any threats or posts online of anyone trying but apparently it’s capable of running 32 GB so that might be my next test
@@jackiescum5438 I added an 8GB 2Rx8 PCL-12800S ram to my e6420 i7 2620M laptop but it made my laptop go off randomly every day. Do you have an idea on why that happened?
Danex Reyes Go to the site for the processor like Intel’s website or wherever it’s from. Find your model and it will tell you what it can hold. Dell says this one can only hold eight Intel’s website says 32 I put 16 into it and it’s fine. So I may even try 32 in a year or do.
Edward Mailyan It is an Express card to usb3 adapter. I found mine on eBay. it really only supports lower power devices such as flash drives though as the Express card bus cannot deliver very much power.
here in 2019 I just bought one of these to replace my crummy HP. I tossed in a 240GB SSD, 1TB mechanical drive replacing the Optical CD-ROM. Currently have 8GB of RAM but after looking around it can handle 16GB so I plan to give that a try. I am also debating to upgrade the CPU since it is a socketed CPU and currently the i7 variant for it is dirt cheap on eBay. I might also toss in a USB 3.0 card, about 90% of my USB devices are USB2 but having USB3 for file storage is a nice idea. For a system that was released in 2011/2012 is still way much faster and cheaper then the Walmart budget models from Acer Aspire and HP Stream models currently sitting on their shelves.
I've been running one since new and it's been great. Glad to hear it's still superior to commodity laptops of today. With SSD and 8GB in the last couple years it's been given a whole new life. Interested to hear about experience/pros/cons with the i7 - I have the original i5-2540M still. Mine's been a media center/living room PC pretty much so the screen doesn't get much use.
@Mabast Walker Yes, I was able to upgrade the RAM to 16GB. I used Corsair CMSX8GX3M1A1600C10, two stick of 8GB. The mechanical drive started to give me problems so I swapped it out to a SSD so now the system has dual SSD. I never got around to toss in a i7 CPU but the i5 works well with Debian 11 running.
What model and number monitor so I can change mine out and use something a bit better? I know you metioned an LG model..I think I heard correctly..Thanks guy!!!
Did you purchase this laptop at Hamvention? Is the extra hard drive caddy specific OEM to the Latitude or is this a third party that conveniently fits in the ROM Drive bay? Thanks for your video. Dell Latitude is always my first choice of laptop. Is that a tetrode valve atop your equipment cabinet?
I know 2016 is a long time back but could you please let me know what express card you bought for USB 3.0 funtionality, I have pretty functional same machine with Core i7 2nd gen don't want to throw it away.
did your laptop kind of heat up when using win10? Because my laptop (literally same as the one in the vid) heats up when i go to chrome for a bit and the exhaust fan feels mildly tepid but not cool-warm feeling.
I'm probably going to pick up an i7 with an SSD. It has the lower-end monitor. What do you think accounts for the reduced vividness with this monitor? I believe this is the lower-end display option--right? I want the speed of the i7, but I'm hearing about heat issues. I'm willing to compromise with an i5 and upgraded display. Besides regular web-browsing, I do photo editing. I'm coming off an a beloved Studio 1558 with i3 and Radeon graphics. Replaced the fan and heatsink but still no video except unusable on external monitor--I might try swapping in another i3. It was booting before that, and just lost video after 10 mins. Thanks.
kengland45 if you get an i7 such as the 2760qm which is a ten watt higher TDP, you should get the dual heatpipe cooling fan made for the e6420, or you could get a fan like the opolar laptop cooling fan which seems to work pretty well on my computer that was overheating, but I don’t know if it would be enough to cool the i7 2760qm since I don’t personally have it and use it
Hi i have a problem with my laptop's battery also my laptop is like this and the problem is the battery ran out so fast like after more minutes battery is gone i dont know why that is happening so forgot to say it was second hand my auntie gave me. "Can you tell me what is the problem thank you"
May I ask what type of power supply did you use? Just upgraded from i5 to i7 2670qm (2.2GHz), 2x8GB Vengeance RAM. When I put it under serious CPU pressure it shuts down. Bios reports asf2 force off, if I dim the screen, remove battery and DVD reader everything works ok. I suspect my 90W power supply does not provide enough juice.
I am using a dell Latitude e6520 with an i7 2720qm that goes up to 3.3 Ghz in turbo.. I came with the Dell "DA 180PM111" AC adabter.. It's 180 Watt and 19.5 v Just be carefull that you don't kill your laptop with a too strong AC adapter
@@ichheissemarvin5613please explain how can you kill it with too strong power supply? If nominal voltage is the same, amps it can output are the amps laptop draws itself not the ones is being force fed. Don't spread uninformed bs
you can very easily add ram there are 2 slots. 30-40 eur for one of 8gb of ram (just make sure its 1333mhz ddr3 sodimm) the difference should be huge in amount of different apps you can run at once, and just speed of the computer. you can also add or change the HDD to an almost no sound, much much faster SSD drive which you can get for ~20eur 120gb or ~30-60eur 240gb. Though if you want to add instead of replace you would need a drive caddy which are 6-30eur. If you put windows on SSD, your pc would turn on much faster.
I'm gonna try i7-2860qm on my laptop, also I recommend upgrading the cpu cooler and updating the bios version beforehand, the bios version I have is A25 and the cooler I got is the TYP01 since my laptop has a nvidia gpu
when I'm opening dell site it is showing that your product has not been tested for windows 10 upgrade......then how can i get drivers for windows 10..... my latitude e6420 is working on i7 processor
Vinicio Coelho yeah man, I have the i7 e6420 and it FLIES especially with an SSD. the e6430, even with the i5 is better because it has a newer generation of processor. you should definitely get an SSD though.
Is this laptop dim to you? I have one of these and the screen is quite dim even in in full brightness. I know this is an old video but hopefully you can give me some kind of feedback.
Hey, where did you buy all of your upgrades? I have the same e6420, got at a pawnshop for a sweet deal, HDD crashed 3 times, then I gave up and bought a new one on amazon, and it worked after that, now that I can use it to it's full potential, I would like to get some more upgrades on it instead of building my own computer, since it seems that is a bit pricey.
Ah, I was wondering how your i5 (idle) is able to run as fast as it is, I don't have much on mine, and I have an i7 2.80GHz, it's a bit slow, but it get's the job done. Regardless, I'll subscribe just for the ideas there.
JayDeePLUS BEATZ yeah but it might not be compatible with the chipset in the e6420 which is the qm67 chipset, it also needs to be compatible with the bios, just because it fits doesn’t mean it will work
upgrade the CPU if possible to a I7-2760QM CPU but first you need to update your bios via the dell site and go and buy when you can the cpu i mentioned and you should see a big performance improve in gaming and applications add also a good external cooler or a professional one and it will stay cool and fast when needed
Hello are you sure it's compatible ? .I7-2760QM 45watt. I would like to upgrade. my CPU also my spec Dell Latitude e6420 , Intel i5-2520 35Watt Gpu intel hd 3000 G.SKILL 16GB ddr3 1600mhz www.noelshack.com/2018-21-7-1527448661-1.jpg
i know same as me just check the socket and check the supported cpu and you can choose for me for a good performance ill go for that CPU its good and powerfull for its series as second generation intel mobile processors also remember you need a 90W charger adaptor for the laptop to support that kind of cpu and also you need to update your bios if its not updated via downloads.dell.com/FOLDER04886858M/1/Latitude_E6420_E6420ATG_A25.exe
Ok Thank you for the answer and for the help. I just update my bios with your link, I was at A13 and now A25 and and I will buy this CPU and an original dell ac adapter load for latitude E6400 E6410 E6420 E6430 19.5V 90W.
yo! How many Gb's of RAM can I put in this laptop ? At this moment I have core i5 + 8 gb ram + ssd 240 + hdd 320. I need some upgrades like HD+ or Full HD display + more ram + more disc space. working on win 7.
Michał Borczyński Type in the name of the cpu i.e. i5 2520 or whatever your’s is called, and then check how much ram it is compatible with, you can see what ram and what speed of ram it supports
I have the top spec’d one still with the i7 and holy Christ.. the speakers are unreal awful I dunno who OK’d them. But.. this was the precursor to the XPS 13”. I’m finally gonna sell mine to someone who digs them I think
M Harsha Gopal There is a product called the exp gdc, it allows you to plug it in via expresscard or mini pcie on the inside of the computer, the mini pcie is faster, but depending on what computer you have you may have to sacrifice the WiFi card and get a usb WiFi adapter, but if you have the latitude e6420, it should have two extra mini pcie slots that aren’t taken up by any WiFi cards or anything. After you get the exp gdc, you can get an nvidia card and plug it in, you can find some pretty good tutorials by looking up Dennis G egpu on CZcams.
According to the nvidia driver page, there is a driver available for it for windows 10. here's the link. www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/86819/en-us
Thank you. But the last time I updated my Nvidia(NVS 4200M) drivers to the latest version for my Laptop running Win7, it worked for a few hours fine. But when I restart my laptop it gets stuck on the Welcome screen, then after 3-4 login attempts it works fine.. then again the same problem. Then I unistalled the drivers, reinstalled the vga driver for Nvidia from Dell's website.. and now everything works fine. Obviously the driver version is very old(2013)
Would this make a decent laptop for a college-bound student in 2017? I like the model with the i7 quad core and a 9cell battery. Compared to the newer laptops the performance seems to be almost double only at the expense of battery. The newer machines are more power efficient but have less overall power. The only downside is that this machine is nearing 5 years old. My other option is an e5470, but it has a built in battery and scores 2000 less passmark points. Only pro of the new one seems to be DDR4 and is not old.
Andrew Johnston For typical workloads, these make a great laptop. if you opt for an SSD, these things rival most modern laptops. the drawbacks are the bulky size, and the not so great screen.
I can manage size and I plan on being a computer science major so the display does not have to be super sharp. I was thinking of the e6430 but I never thought about adding a USB 3.0 card to it. However, the e6430 benefits from Ivy Bridge. My institution recommends a machine that is 2-3 years old so I am trying to justify age by performance. Thanks for your input!!
Do to several reasons, USB 3.0 via ExpressCard slots is not recommended: -The Dell e6420 only has ExpressCard I and doesn't achieve the full speed of USB 3.0. -I purchased the ebay card for it, but it doesn't lock / stay in. -USB 3.0 Specifies a higher Amperage requirement, and requires you to plug it into a USB port. My Recommendation is the following: -Get the e6430 (USB 3.0, ExpressCard II built in) -Purchase the Docking station with USB 3.0 in it. -Purchase the eModule that has USB 3.0 in it. -Use the built in eSataP the laptop comes with. (Keep in mind, the Laptop has SATA II, so certain SSD Drives will be limited)
I've had this computer while attending college for 2 years. I do animation/photo editing on it. It runs most things, but I'm upgrading the ram from 8 to 16 gigs to run things smoother (8 gigs doesn't cut it these days for animating). I've been able to run photoshop, after affects, the entire adobe suite, lotsa games off my Steam library on it. Mine has an i7 2760QM on it so yours may vary.
Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm looking for a refurbished laptop that was released a few years ago. All it needs is to be able to run programs like office smoothly and play online media without freezing. Also windows 10 as an operating system. What are the specs that I should be looking for? I'm a newbie when it comes to pc's. Thanks in advance!
hacking tutorials it is not possible, the gpu is not socketed, and is soldered in, unless you have extreme skill with desoldering components like that and have the right materials, and can find a more powerful gpu that would be compatible, it is not possible. There is a way to have a faster gpu that wouldn’t be too expensive, if you get an external gpu, I would recommend getting the exp gdc v8.0, it can connect either by the express card, or the mini pcie port in your laptop, most laptops only have one mini pcie port, which contains the WiFi card, so if your laptop only has one, you would need to get a WiFi USB adapter card, if you are using the latitude e6420 it has two unused mini pcie ports on the inside which you could plug it in by, I would recommend the mini pcie version because it has less of a bottleneck for the gpu you use and I have heard of a lot of problems with the express card version. You can find a good tutorial on doing this by looking up Dennis G egpu.
sai praveen I’m not quite sure because when I plugged in my exp get with a 1060 3gb it wouldn’t boot, but I had an i5, I’m not sure if that makes a difference or not
hari brown There is a version of this with the i7-2620m and dedicated nvs 4200m graphics that (I own) and can play Skyrim at medium settings 1600x900 at about 35-40 fps
nick willard well in my country there is 200dollars for this. But the laptop has i5 2340, nvdia nvs 4200m and ssd which is incredible. It run gta v on 800x600 low and shadows max on 56 fps er average.
So, remove battery and hold down the power button to get rid of residual power. Take out all the screws and remove the HDD (Hard Disc Drive) don’t lose them put them on a plate in a box some kind of container. Remove the cover, down low near the middle of the computer are two RAM ports, remove/add your ram depending on if you are putting in another 4gb to dual channel or two 8gb sticks to max out its 16gb cap. Put the cover back and put your HDD back and screw everything back in. Boot to make sure everything still works, if not trouble shoot on the internet to find a solution to your particular issue. If all goes well you should be done and it should work.
RetroCollector84 Check what the speed of the ram is, because some processors wont accept lower speeds, if you want an I7, you also might need to get the dual heatpipe cpu cooler for the e6420 or get something like the opolar laptop cooling fan.

Missed several upgrades that make this machine still compete with todays WORK laptops.
- Upgrade the main HD to a 1TB SSD (that is an easy one)
- The laptop actually supports 16GB of Ram if you upgrade to the latest BIOS
- WiFi card can be upgraded to the latest Intel AX200 WiFi 6 so you can get 2.4Gbps speeds
I already did these upgrades on my old laptop and it really makes it lightning fast. The extra memory is the big one because it is shared with the Video card. Using a docking station it can handle 2 monitors (3 if you have the laptop open) at 1080p quality.
With those upgrades it is an extremely fast laptop that is still very good to work on.
Hi, saw your comment as a owner of the same laptop as well. You said wifi cards you had were graded. Did you also upgrade the graphics and how?
@@nathanj7423 no, it's impossible to upgrade the graphics card. However if you upgrade the memory on the laptop then the graphics card already on the laptop will work better because it uses part of your memory for its memory.
I did forget to mention this is probably one of the only laptops I ever seen where you can upgrade the processor. I upgraded mine to a quad core and bought the stronger cooler for it. So it went from a Dual Core to a Quad!
You must get the better cooler with additional heat pipes if not it will over heat.
I took a E6540 on vacation last summer. It's sporting an i5 quad core. Most of my co-workers prefer the 65X0 series with the larger keyboard. The one I had was Intel GFX, but it ran Fallout 3 and New Vegas very well. I replaced the HDD with a Samsung 250GB EVo 850 SSD and the DVD drive with a 1TB Western Digital Black via a bay hdd adapter. The new 6570 have no DVD drive, but you can do dual drives via the msata and 2.5" bays. In a pinch there are 2.5" drive adapters that will support dual Msata drives for raid or dual drive configurations if you wanted more drives or redundancy...
same i have a 6420 my specs:
Intel Core i7 2640m @2.80ghz
8.00 gb of ram
64 bit
Changing hdd to ssd would likely make your pc more silent and a bit more fast. Including much faster turn on.
Or adding one though you would need to add a caddy as well (6-20eur)
I7?? I have the same thing but i5 2540m 2.6GHZ upto 3.30 ghz turboboost and 3mb cache ,
This was the most capable laptop that Dell has ever release. Even the non-ATG model was rugged enough to take in the field every day and small enough to not dread carrying it around,
@Kent Teffeteller I actually totally agree. I still manage a fleet of these and they just work. I do like the newer, thinner and more powerful versions of these. You really can't go wrong, these models are the "Apple" of the PC world
I upgraded my E6420 XFR to an i7-2820QM Quad-Core Hyperthread and 16G RAM. The additional 10W of TDP didn't make much of a difference, and I use HWiNFO64 to control its fan speed. The XFR's touchscreen and daylight viewable display is a real plus, and the upgrades made it future-proof at least for another few years. Great little machines.
As for an upgrade, something similar to my Dell M4700 mobile workstation might work well for you - I also maxed out the RAM (32G) and upgraded the CPU to an i7-3840QM.
Hi Michael
great XFR upgrade, any tips doing it ? just got an XFR & want to upgrade..maybe the 2860qm vs the one you have ? too hot ? too much battery?
please offer any advice upping the CPU
MichaelAChang Could you maybe provide a link to buy the express card USB adapter? I couldn’t find it anywhere
I saw the thumbnail and said "Wow! He changed the color of the splash logo" and was so happy until I got to 3:25 in the video.
@Johnathan Jagger @Kareem Jamir Joined a week ago. Fake accounts. 🤦♂️
is the laptop still working and whats it's condition
was able to find the e6520 model with the i7 2760qm processor, 8gb of 1600mhz ram, a 256gb ssd for $120. it has the 900p display which I think is good enough for a 15" display, the 1080p version I feel would sap too much battery life. I still feel like I got a crazy deal. Definitely not as pretty as newer laptops but it definitely performs right up there with the best of them
Looking for a link to the usb 3 adapter, not too technically savy. Thanks
Just upgrade my E6420 to 16GB Ram, works flawlessly and passes all tests. Computer recognized it, If anyone needs help just make a reply on my videos, I only hae one or 2 public, don't mind the intoxication. 16Gb is awesome and I heard the Sandy Bridge quade core will accept 2 gb Ram, I can conirm 16 GB 2X8 GB, great price too.

Also from what I have read that Sandy bridge processor that’s in this can work with 32 GB of RAM. I haven’t seen any threats or posts online of anyone trying but apparently it’s capable of running 32 GB so that might be my next test
I have a dell 6520 with a i7 2720qm, the question i have is, can it handle 16gb of ram, because everybody says it can only use 8gb 4x2?
@@jackiescum5438 I added an 8GB 2Rx8 PCL-12800S ram to my e6420 i7 2620M laptop but it made my laptop go off randomly every day. Do you have an idea on why that happened?
Danex Reyes Go to the site for the processor like Intel’s website or wherever it’s from. Find your model and it will tell you what it can hold. Dell says this one can only hold eight Intel’s website says 32 I put 16 into it and it’s fine. So I may even try 32 in a year or do.
Joseph Ojarikre do you have the latest bios
Thanks for the review! I do also have 6420! Nice tool but a bit heavy for 2016 (2,4 kg). But how did u manage to install those 3xUSB 3,0 ports? Thnx
Edward Mailyan It is an Express card to usb3 adapter. I found mine on eBay. it really only supports lower power devices such as flash drives though as the Express card bus cannot deliver very much power.
2020
here in 2019 I just bought one of these to replace my crummy HP. I tossed in a 240GB SSD, 1TB mechanical drive replacing the Optical CD-ROM. Currently have 8GB of RAM but after looking around it can handle 16GB so I plan to give that a try. I am also debating to upgrade the CPU since it is a socketed CPU and currently the i7 variant for it is dirt cheap on eBay. I might also toss in a USB 3.0 card, about 90% of my USB devices are USB2 but having USB3 for file storage is a nice idea.
For a system that was released in 2011/2012 is still way much faster and cheaper then the Walmart budget models from Acer Aspire and HP Stream models currently sitting on their shelves.
Hey bro have you checked if you can replace the screen cause the screen resolution sucks
I've been running one since new and it's been great. Glad to hear it's still superior to commodity laptops of today. With SSD and 8GB in the last couple years it's been given a whole new life. Interested to hear about experience/pros/cons with the i7 - I have the original i5-2540M still. Mine's been a media center/living room PC pretty much so the screen doesn't get much use.
@Mabast Walker Yes, I was able to upgrade the RAM to 16GB. I used Corsair CMSX8GX3M1A1600C10, two stick of 8GB. The mechanical drive started to give me problems so I swapped it out to a SSD so now the system has dual SSD. I never got around to toss in a i7 CPU but the i5 works well with Debian 11 running.
@Mabast Walker More RAM and SSD will make things faster. Not sure how much more faster if you're running Windows on it but runs Linux very well.
I really like those port covers, where did you get that?
Those were installed as part of the ATG model of the laptop. They came on it.
What model and number monitor so I can change mine out and use something a bit better? I know you metioned an LG model..I think I heard correctly..Thanks guy!!!

did your laptop kind of heat up when using win10? Because my laptop (literally same as the one in the vid) heats up when i go to chrome for a bit and the exhaust fan feels mildly tepid but not cool-warm feeling.
Hi! Under the space bar there are 3 buttons that I cannot figure out what they are for. Can you please explain? Thank you for your video.
Suzanne Szárai they are duplicated left, right click, and scroll buttons used with pointing device located on the keyboard.
I'm probably going to pick up an i7 with an SSD. It has the lower-end monitor. What do you think accounts for the reduced vividness with this monitor? I believe this is the lower-end display option--right? I want the speed of the i7, but I'm hearing about heat issues. I'm willing to compromise with an i5 and upgraded display. Besides regular web-browsing, I do photo editing. I'm coming off an a beloved Studio 1558 with i3 and Radeon graphics. Replaced the fan and heatsink but still no video except unusable on external monitor--I might try swapping in another i3. It was booting before that, and just lost video after 10 mins. Thanks.
kengland45 if you get an i7 such as the 2760qm which is a ten watt higher TDP, you should get the dual heatpipe cooling fan made for the e6420, or you could get a fan like the opolar laptop cooling fan which seems to work pretty well on my computer that was overheating, but I don’t know if it would be enough to cool the i7 2760qm since I don’t personally have it and use it

May I ask what type of power supply did you use? Just upgraded from i5 to i7 2670qm (2.2GHz), 2x8GB Vengeance RAM. When I put it under serious CPU pressure it shuts down. Bios reports asf2 force off, if I dim the screen, remove battery and DVD reader everything works ok. I suspect my 90W power supply does not provide enough juice.
I am using a dell Latitude e6520 with an i7 2720qm that goes up to 3.3 Ghz in turbo..
I came with the Dell "DA 180PM111" AC adabter..

Can you play 4k videos on CZcams without stuttering? If yes, how high up is the processor?
It doesn't have a 4k screen...
Marcel Peter yes it streams 4k content quite well. The only bottleneck you'd have with 4k streaming is the internet speed
I use one of these for work, Windows 7 Professional with 4GB of ram, a 320GB HDD. Pretty slow, but it works fine.
you can very easily add ram there are 2 slots. 30-40 eur for one of 8gb of ram (just make sure its 1333mhz ddr3 sodimm) the difference should be huge in amount of different apps you can run at once, and just speed of the computer.
you can also add or change the HDD to an almost no sound, much much faster SSD drive which you can get for ~20eur 120gb or ~30-60eur 240gb. Though if you want to add instead of replace you would need a drive caddy which are 6-30eur. If you put windows on SSD, your pc would turn on much faster.

Hey, where did you buy all of your upgrades? I have the same e6420, got at a pawnshop for a sweet deal, HDD crashed 3 times, then I gave up and bought a new one on amazon, and it worked after that, now that I can use it to it's full potential, I would like to get some more upgrades on it instead of building my own computer, since it seems that is a bit pricey.
Mustang N' Skillet the vast majority of the parts came from eBay.
Ah, I was wondering how your i5 (idle) is able to run as fast as it is, I don't have much on mine, and I have an i7 2.80GHz, it's a bit slow, but it get's the job done. Regardless, I'll subscribe just for the ideas there.
Skr1tten the 3632qm is a quad core i7 with 8 threads instead of 4 clocked at 2.1-2.2 ghz that is the same pin type as the e6420
Skr1tten the pin type is ppga988
JayDeePLUS BEATZ yeah but it might not be compatible with the chipset in the e6420 which is the qm67 chipset, it also needs to be compatible with the bios, just because it fits doesn’t mean it will work

upgrade the CPU if possible to a I7-2760QM CPU but first you need to update your bios via the dell site and go and buy when you can the cpu i mentioned and you should see a big performance improve in gaming and applications add also a good external cooler or a professional one and it will stay cool and fast when needed

M Harsha Gopal No, sadly you can’t upgrade the graphics
M Harsha Gopal There is a product called the exp gdc, it allows you to plug it in via expresscard or mini pcie on the inside of the computer, the mini pcie is faster, but depending on what computer you have you may have to sacrifice the WiFi card and get a usb WiFi adapter, but if you have the latitude e6420, it should have two extra mini pcie slots that aren’t taken up by any WiFi cards or anything. After you get the exp gdc, you can get an nvidia card and plug it in, you can find some pretty good tutorials by looking up Dennis G egpu on CZcams.

hey mine's got an NVS 4200M so if I upgrade to Win10 will my drivers work??
According to the nvidia driver page, there is a driver available for it for windows 10. here's the link. www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/86819/en-us
Thank you. But the last time I updated my Nvidia(NVS 4200M) drivers to the latest version for my Laptop running Win7, it worked for a few hours fine. But when I restart my laptop it gets stuck on the Welcome screen, then after 3-4 login attempts it works fine.. then again the same problem. Then I unistalled the drivers, reinstalled the vga driver for Nvidia from Dell's website.. and now everything works fine. Obviously the driver version is very old(2013)
Seems to work fine. Windows 10 has the drivers for it. I'm running mine on a dual boot Windows 10 Professional 64bit / Ubuntu.

deeptesh basak I have to look inside, I knows it's DDR 3 sodim, but will get exact model asap.
Would this make a decent laptop for a college-bound student in 2017? I like the model with the i7 quad core and a 9cell battery. Compared to the newer laptops the performance seems to be almost double only at the expense of battery. The newer machines are more power efficient but have less overall power. The only downside is that this machine is nearing 5 years old. My other option is an e5470, but it has a built in battery and scores 2000 less passmark points. Only pro of the new one seems to be DDR4 and is not old.
Andrew Johnston For typical workloads, these make a great laptop. if you opt for an SSD, these things rival most modern laptops. the drawbacks are the bulky size, and the not so great screen.
I can manage size and I plan on being a computer science major so the display does not have to be super sharp. I was thinking of the e6430 but I never thought about adding a USB 3.0 card to it. However, the e6430 benefits from Ivy Bridge. My institution recommends a machine that is 2-3 years old so I am trying to justify age by performance. Thanks for your input!!
Do to several reasons, USB 3.0 via ExpressCard slots is not recommended:
-The Dell e6420 only has ExpressCard I and doesn't achieve the full speed of USB 3.0.
-I purchased the ebay card for it, but it doesn't lock / stay in.
-USB 3.0 Specifies a higher Amperage requirement, and requires you to plug it into a USB port.
My Recommendation is the following:
-Get the e6430 (USB 3.0, ExpressCard II built in)
-Purchase the Docking station with USB 3.0 in it.
-Purchase the eModule that has USB 3.0 in it.
-Use the built in eSataP the laptop comes with. (Keep in mind, the Laptop has SATA II, so certain SSD Drives will be limited)
I will probably go with the 30 due to it being newer and having the 3rd gen cpu.
I've had this computer while attending college for 2 years. I do animation/photo editing on it. It runs most things, but I'm upgrading the ram from 8 to 16 gigs to run things smoother (8 gigs doesn't cut it these days for animating).

can i upgrade this laptop with 960 evo m.2?
No, this laptop does not have an M.2 port.
The best part of this dells is that they can be upgraded to a more powerful CPU.
can you please make a tutorial on how to change gpu.Most people say that you can but the said the same for 16 gb ram and proved wrong.please try it
hacking tutorials it is not possible, the gpu is not socketed, and is soldered in, unless you have extreme skill with desoldering components like that and have the right materials, and can find a more powerful gpu that would be compatible, it is not possible. There is a way to have a faster gpu that wouldn’t be too expensive, if you get an external gpu, I would recommend getting the exp gdc v8.0, it can connect either by the express card, or the mini pcie port in your laptop, most laptops only have one mini pcie port, which contains the WiFi card, so if your laptop only has one, you would need to get a WiFi USB adapter card, if you are using the latitude e6420 it has two unused mini pcie ports on the inside which you could plug it in by, I would recommend the mini pcie version because it has less of a bottleneck for the gpu you use and I have heard of a lot of problems with the express card version. You can find a good tutorial on doing this by looking up Dennis G egpu.

I want to upgrade ram, how
So, remove battery and hold down the power button to get rid of residual power. Take out all the screws and remove the HDD (Hard Disc Drive) don’t lose them put them on a plate in a box some kind of container. Remove the cover, down low near the middle of the computer are two RAM ports, remove/add your ram depending on if you are putting in another 4gb to dual channel or two 8gb sticks to max out its 16gb cap. Put the cover back and put your HDD back and screw everything back in. Boot to make sure everything still works, if not trouble shoot on the internet to find a solution to your particular issue. If all goes well you should be done and it should work.
I have one, i want to upgrade to a I7 core processor. I have a I5 core with 8GB of Ram
RetroCollector84 Check what the speed of the ram is, because some processors wont accept lower speeds, if you want an I7, you also might need to get the dual heatpipe cpu cooler for the e6420 or get something like the opolar laptop cooling fan.
socket has to be the same, it will also probably be 45 or more W and original one is 35 W so you would lose something like 20% battery time.
i bought the core i7 one of these and well i had another dell i gave to my girlfriend a dell e6430 core i5 3320m 2.6ghz.loved the e6430 loads just the girlfriends other laptop broke then i thought id treat myself and buy another dell but a dell e6420 core i7 i got it and well after the first day i hatted it it got that hot i could not use it to much the bottom of it was really warm but i googled it and sayed this is normal.so i just had enough of it getting hot so i sold it on and well we are married now so im using my dell e6430 core i5 again.love this laptop never breaks down and tbh fast as the core i7 what i have seen without all the heat coming from it.

Lol major upgrades with 8 gigs of RAM and i5 and that low quality monitor? Give me a brake.
