Cool computer. I may have just broke one of these at work the other day. I was installing an SSD and when I went to put the back cover back on the side opposite the docking port under the palm rest never clicked back down properly. No battery swell or anything it just never wanted to click back down.

Man, I remember watching your E6400 video way back in the day. This video’s a bit nostalgic to me for some reason

That's one thing I miss about America. Being able to find good shit in the trash. I like that Dell will still allow you to use the computer, even at full speed without having a battery installed. I had both the E7440 and E7450. I love the form factor, but sadly, these things has some downsides that it swayed away from owning another E7XXX series. For starters, these things can get toasty AF. Mine reached 100C at one point. Even if you don't push it all that much, it's still too warm for my liking. Also, they seemed to drop the ball on the build quality starting with the E7450. The E7440 had a metal lid, and frame. The E7450 are all plastic. The plastic itself on the E7440's palm rest is black. Even if you sand it down, it's still black. Whereas with the E7450. Just scratch it with a coin, the coating starts to shed, and you'd be left with a see-through plastic. How did I know this? My dog accidentally scratched it when I left them unattended (on separate occasion).

I bought a really nice Onkyo TX-NR626 but the audio out was dead was so lucky the man gave me my money back.

I bought my mom two of these (one went to another family member). She loves it.

"Fairly usable"! What can't it do besides high-end gaming? The E7470 is still awesome for most purposes, even in 2023.

I wish I could've gone someplace like where you guys got the the devices from

Dell0304 is my favorite

Picked up a HP Probook 450 G3 at the Goodwill for $70. Maxed out spec version with a shitty AMD DGPU. Shot battery, replaced for $20. All and all, $90 for a 1080P Skylake system is not bad at all.

Hey are there 2 slots of SSD. I m on budget should I add a hdd external or internal.

how much would it have been back int he day

What else did you get in the E-waste hunt?

Question: How did you get Windows 11 up and running on an unsupported processor?

This is good for programming , coding and designing ?

Dang it's surprising what people toss out now.(edit, wait nevermind, it'd still a good deal though)

Gaming??

First

I got this in 2022 for 319$.
