Re: Ratdude's new (to him) Dell Latitude E5530
For laughs I ran novabench on it:

IIRC that's faster than my main rigs...
... then again, I didn't necessarily build my main rigs to be speed demons (at least to this degree).
Factor in the 5hr battery life (1.5-2 playing minecraft), kickass N-600 wifi, BT 3.0, and internal Logitech Unifying... and minus the low DPI screen and lack of a keyboard backlight*, Not a bad bit of laptop?
* a swap would be too pricey after the keyboard, keyboard bezel, and palm rest needed to swap, like $60-$80... this is because the backilight option is tied to the trackpoint option which is in turn tied to the palmrest with fingerprint reader option... damn, talk about a lack of customization!
