Dell Latitude E6410 Laptop for PPCC editing?

I'm thinking of purchasing a Dell Latitude E6410 Laptop for mobile editing when I travel.  My question is would it be sufficient to use for editing on PPCC?  It will have an Intel Core I5 processor and 8gb of RAM.

I've personally used a e6410 with Premiere Pro CS5 with 8GB of RAM and while it does "run" Premiere Pro, it is FAR away from what I would deem a good laptop for Premiere Pro. This model is years old and the newer models do several things that help with Adobe a lot: take more RAM (16GB is much better than 8GB for PPro), drives are faster (SSDs much more common, my e6410 had a 256GB SSD and not many did back when this model was born 4 yrs ago), and as Bill already pointed out much more cable 22nm die quad core CPUs with hyperthreading (so, 8 cores available to PPro for editing).
You do not mention your workflow, but obviously editing DV would be much more acceptable on marginal hardware than trying to edit AVCHD or GoPro 4k!
I would expect a used e6410 to be worth about $250 today (street price). I really don't know why you would buy one now really? You can buy a sub-$1000 Asus and with a few modifications put together a really good "new" laptop so that may be a better option for you today.

Jim

  • Dell Latitude E6410 Blank Screen

    I have Arch installed on an external USB drive. It works fine on two different laptops using ATI cards and using the generic ati driver. Now I'm trying it on a Dell Latitude E6410 which has an nVidia card (NVS 3100M). At first I had both the generic ati and the vesa drivers installed. With just these two, X started, but it was simply a bunch of colored pixels randomly assorted. Using the generic xf86-video-nv yielded an error and X wouldn't start. Using nouveau I got a little closer, except rather than not starting or displaying strange color assortments, the screen simply seemed to either go black or turn off. I've looked around and apparently nouveau does work with this graphics card, but I'm not sure why it isn't right now.

    nickramos wrote:Ok, I did get it to work on the laptop using nouveau, but only by adding configuration options to xorg.
    But now, because of this, my ATI computers won't load X. Is there any way to make it so that the correct driver is loaded depending on the machine being used?
    That's the hard part. That's what I was talking about.
    Of course you can manually switch the configs  and reboot.
    You need to hack initscripts or sth like that

  • Suitable laptop for video editing

    Hello,
    for months now I am looking for a suitable laptop for video editing of  my footage captured by Canon 60D (and also GoPro). Since it is in a HD quality and h.264  format it puts a great strain on the CPU. I already had to return an  ASUS U30J and Dell XPS14 both with i7 processors because of their  terribly slow performance :(. So now, I really want to be 100% sure that  the laptop will be able to smoothly handle my footage. I am using Adobe  Premiere Pro CS5 for video editing and I do need a laptop (preferably 15'')  as I travel all the time.
    Here are the specifications of the Force 16F2 laptop built on MSI 16F2 (from the xoticpc.com), which I have chosen so far:
    FORCE 16F2 / MSI 16F2
    -  15.6” FHD 16:9 LED Backlit Wide screen (1920x1080) Super Clear Glare Type Screen
    -  2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-2720QM, 2.2-3.3GHz, (32nm, 6MB L3 cache)
    -  IC Diamond Thermal Compound - CPU + GPU (Cools better than all Compounds)
    -  nVidia GeForce GTX 560M 1,536MB PCI-Express GDDR5 DX11
    -  12,288MB (12GB) DDR3 1333MHz Dual Channel Memory (2x4GB 2x2GB)-
    -  Standard Finish
    -  - 500GB (w/ 4GB SSD Memory) Seagate XT 7200RPM NCQ Hybrid 32MB Cache (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)-   or 750GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)--
    - 750GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)-
    -  Raid 0  Stripe Enabled (Requires 2 or 3 Hard Drives. Combines Hard Drives for performance)
    -  500GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s) in ODD Bay
    -  3 Year Complete Care Warranty - 3 Year Parts with Ground Shipping, 24/7 Telephone Tech Support & Lifetime Labor Warranty
    I would like to ask you what do you think about this configuration  regarding my requirements? Will this system be powerful enough to handle  the h.264 footage? I would like to use both the SLR camera and the laptop as long as possible and don't have to change the laptop in one year time or so. That's why I would like the system to be powerful enough to withstand even future demands of the software, etc.
    I was also not sure about the 500GB (w/ 4GB SSD Memory) Seagate XT 7200RPM NCQ Hybrid 32MB Cache (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s. Do you think it is a smart choice? Is the 4GB SSD memory of any use? Or should I rather go with the 750GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Buffer (Serial-ATA II 3GB/s)?
    I don't have any previous experience with the raid system, do you think that the Raid 0  Stripe Enabled (Requires 2 or 3 Hard Drives. Combines Hard Drives for performance) is the right choice for smooth video editing? I know that I have to use at least 2 hard drives so that's why I'd rather order 3 HDD to get the best performance..
    This configuration is worth 1800USD, I would obviously like to save some  money as I will need to pay also the shipping costs, tax and duty (I  currently live in New Delhi)... So if you think that something from the  system might be downgraded and I would still get good video editing  results, please let me know.
    Do you think that the 3 Year Complete Care Warranty - 3 Year Parts with Ground Shipping, 24/7 Telephone Tech Support & Lifetime Labor Warranty is of any use when I am not from the US? Should I rather go with the 1 Year warranty?
    I would very much appreciate any feedback from you!
    Misha

    Frederick, I will firstly answer your questions, I am in no way a pro video editor, my projects are up to 10MB of size although I wasn't yet able to edit the h.264 footage properly ... I mostly do events and quite simple projects, effects, two to three timelines... I use only h.264, my older projects are in DV quality thought. I usually have to rush to finish a project since I have limited time during the travels.. I usually work at one, maximum two projects at the same time
    Now, I have been trying to figure out what would be the best configuration for me and ended up with these two options, which are touching (maybe even overflowing) my budget... Both are worth around USD2100 (without shipping, etc.). Either I  will be going for one SSD disk for the OS or for maximum CPU and RAM.  Which configuration would you recommend me? Do you think that the second configuration is an overkill when taken into account the size and scope of my projects?
    With SSD disk:

    Frederick, regarding the RAM I checked the 8GB option and it comes in 2GBx4 so I won't be able to save those slots. Plus I have been searching for prices of the RAM, HDD and SSD in the US and they don't seem to be that great for me to even consider them... I would simply have to pay more and would end up with unused parts from the basic configuration. I think that the Xoticpc have quite reasonable prices of the upgrades they offer... Plus I can count on higher prices of the components here in India so all in all I think that it would cost me too much energy and save me minimum bucks...  That's why I thought I might go for the 16GB RAM straight away if it isn't an overkill for me. As I said before, I would love to save money (after all I am a woman   who controls the common budget) so please let me  know, if I am just wasting money for high end technology which I won't be able to use . I rather think that in the future once I will finally be able to make  some money when I will have a machine to work on, I might upgrade to  better hard drives (SSD possibly). But right now I need a laptop on  which I would be able to smoothly edit the HD h.264 footage.
    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Installing Solaris 10 via external CD drive on Dell Latitude D800 Laptop

    Hello all, I am trying to install Solaris 10 via external CD drive on Dell Latitude D800 Laptop. After the GRUB menu it begins to load, displaying the " . . . . . ." and hangs about 1/4 way accross the screen. When attempting the install from a DVD instead of a CD the installation hangs on the same screen even sooner. Has anyone encoutered this problem?

    Hello Alex,
    no, you can't use USB devices on SPARC as boot device.
    The OBP (even updated ones) contains only support for the USB keyboard, but none for USB mass storage (which requires a device driver). The integrated USB ports are for slow devices like keyboard and mouse.
    Using an external SCSI DVD-ROM works. Another choice is an installation via network.

  • HELp! Best laptop for photo editing.. or would a PC be better?

    I'm looking to buy a new computer. Would love for it to be a laptop but a PC would be ok too.. Any information on which is best for photo editing.. hopefully a large volume of photo editing.. which ones already have photo programs installed on them? help!

    Well.... the biggest limiter will be how much you can spend...
    But, you need to look for a higher end processor and a fairly decent graphics card.
    No new computers come with any decent graphics program.
    If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
    I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
    Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • Need suggestion for Best Laptop for Premier Editing on the Go

    Hello,
    I am a longtime user of Premier and Aftereffects and planning to buy Premier CS4 in the next few weeks.
    Considering I travel a lot I need a good laptop to edit my shoot while traveling. I would like to hear from this forum the recommended laptops for editing. I am budgeting around US $2,000/-.
    Secondly should I request the laptop vendor for Windows XP instead of Windows Vista considering XP seems to have better speed than Vista. If CS4 is completely 64 bit then I may end up with Vista.
    One review suggested Gateway P-7811FX is a good laptop for Photoshop / Premier CS4 since it is a gaming laptop and understand it weighs 9.1 lbs.
    Thanks for reading this posting and all the suggestions - pointers in advance.

    Holy crap...do NOT get a Gateway anything.
    Gaming technologies and build concepts sometimes are useful in video production builds, but not always. Stuff like graphics rendering often doesn't affect video.
    HP has a 17" laptop line in the dv7 that is pretty nicely configured. Dual 7200 RPM drives available, as well as on board eSATA built in (for additional storage, or for connecting to an external RAID array).
    Vista 64 is preferable, since the OS can utilize more RAM. Even if the suite itself is only 64bit compatible (as opposed to completely 64bit "aware") you still benefit from the OS being able to delegate an entire set of RAM to each application without sharing from a small pool of only 4 GB. I believe you can configure that dv7 laptop with up to 8 GB of RAM (or at least it's capable of up to 8 GB, but maybe you have to purchase your own upgrades separately).
    Vista 32 runs PPro and AE very fast on my laptop, faster than XP Pro ever worked for me. Vista is a little bit smarter about handling physical RAM and processor resources (Vista SP1 made the OS very usable, and 3rd party support is a non issue if you are purchasing new components or a new machine, as you seem to be doing...hiccups come with trying to get 5 or 10 year old hardware and software to work on a new OS like Vista). Don't believe too much of the hype until you've given it a shot.
    Oh, about 64 bit support...Photoshop CS4 is 64-bit native (Windows Vista 64 only, not Mac OSX). After Effects and Premiere Pro can open multiple instances of the application for rendering and such to take advantage of RAM availability. After Effects and Premiere Pro do approach this slightly differently from one another, but the end result is still that you have a 32 bit application that is trying to act like a 64 bit one, and from what I've seen so far, that makes a difference over 32 bit OS.

  • Laptop for video editing

    Hello People
    I am seeking for medium price, new laptop  with firewire  , and efficient in compression of video material. I can spend  600$ for it .

    Look for a laptop with the fastest CPU and largest amount of hard drive space you can find.  Also, if you're editing HD video, look for one that has a 1920x1080 display - but you won't likely find that at a $600 price point.  However since you mention Firewire I assume you're still editing standard definition MiniDV video, which fortunately isn't too CPU-intensive to work with.  (I guess some HDV cameras combine high-def and Firewire, but these are fairly rare - AVCHD is far more common.)
    Graphics chipset doesn't matter much for video editing.  These days, the only thing differentiating GPUs is 3D rendering performance.  For 2D work, every chipset out there is more than sufficient.

  • Powerful laptop for video editing?

    Sometimes people ask what laptop to buy for video editing. My laptop has the following specification.
    1 gigabyte graphics memory (NVIDIA GeForce GT 620M)
    Intel core i7 3632qm CPU (quad core, 2.2 GHz with maximum 3.2 GHz).
    5400 RPM hard drive in two partions C: and D:
    6 gigabytes with RAM
    I use Windows 8.1, with Windows settings for maximum performance.
    I have spent more than 200 hours editing a project which is about 110 minutes long. 
    RAM, graphics card respectively CPU have been no limitation. But my hard drive must often work hard.
    Partition C: became full with media cache files since my project is so big. So in the future I will put the media cache files on partition D: For this project I solved the problem by deleting those media cache files which were no longer needed.
    Alright, I have been forced to split up my long project into smaller pieces. So I have projects which each contains a few hours with raw material, out of which there is about 10 minutes on the timeline. For each project I export a video file. These files I import into another project where I join them into one video file which is 110 minutes long.
    I find it inconvenient when PE 12 needs more than one minute to load a particular project. This is the reason why I split up my long project into smaller pieces.
    To avoid confusion, I never use video transitions. And I only use video effects when I am forced to correct poor footage. So in each project there is at most about a minute of footage to be rendered. I mean, even though I don't render, PE 12 works well.
    I hope this will help those who need to buy a laptop for editing.

    Thanks for the comments.
    Sorry for this delay in answering. I didn't check if there was any comment because I didn't expect any.
    a.
    I should had expressed myself differently.
    No, I have not monitored CPU usage because it is the hard drive which limits how fast my laptop works.
    There is one advantage with having a track for video expanded rather than collapsed. One can see what one has already put on the timeline without moving the cursor. If one waits until the computer has generated pictures on the timeline.
    But I realized that with my laptop one has to wait uncomfortably long for those pictures to be created. So it is faster to move the cursor to that position where I have guessed that I have already put the footage I want to find.
    b.
    I have not tested multiple monitors. Neither would I bother if CPU usage increased because it is the hard drive, not the CPU, which limits how fast my laptop works.
    c.
    I have not used Premiere CC so I have not checked the hardware requirements.
    Unless I have misunderstood something, Premiere CC has somewhat higher hardware requirements than Premiere Elements. Understandable since professional camcorders use higher bit rate (more information per second) than cheaper camcorders.
    So presumably I would be forced to split up my projects in even smaller parts to make everything manageable. On the other hand, using footage which is intra frame compressed rather than inter frame compressed would mean that the hardware needs to work less hard, so perhaps it would be possible to edit long projects.
    At the same time, some professional programs can work with proxy files, and in that case the high bit rate for professional footage would be no problem.
    Besides, unless something is wrong with my memory, Edius has somewhat lower hardware requirements than Premiere CC, so possibly that program would be more relevant for usage on my laptop.
    Higher bitrate means that there is room for fewer hours with raw material on my single hard drive. So with 100 Mbps I would in practice be limited to creating movies which are at most about 40 minutes long.
    One advantage with professional video editing software is that it can edit video with higher resolution than 1920*1080. But I doubt that would work on my laptop.
    Thanks for your congratulations.
    Yes it works. And after posting in another forum in my native language, another film maker commented that he had edited on a laptop with even less powerful CPU. For him it was also the speed of the hard drive which limited how fast his laptop worked.

  • What Laptop for CS4 editing?

    I'm looking into editing in Premiere Pro CS4 on a  Laptop machine using the Matrox Video for Windows (VFW) software  codecs to edit offline.  I need to be able to perform multicamera  editing with up to 4 cameras and do basic editing on a timeline.  We have 2  Axio LE systems at the office and we are setting up a laptop system so  that we can edit offline at home.  Then when we return to the  office we can just bring the project files from the laptop onto a Axio  for further editing.
    I have a couple of questions such as; what computer should I get with  what video card?  I know matrox has a few but which one in particular is  recommended?  I don't just want the minimum requirements.   We use M2T  files for our editing that only work in matrox projects.  Will they work  using the VFW codec for CS4?  Will I need a separate hard drive for  video files, what kind, speed and connection will I need?  Firewire,  what? I understand what the minimum requirements are but what do you recommend?  I absolutely need a video card that can give me some preview out of the computer.
    Also with the CS4 license, if I put our existing software on the laptop will we have any authorization problems.  Only one of the computers will be in use at a time.  Will I have to  buy 2 new CS4 to CS5 upgrades when I'm ready to upgrade CS5 or only 1?
    Thank you!

    One license allows installation on two machines. If you want to install on a third machine, you need another license.
    This may be a good notebook:

  • HELP - Choose mid specs laptop for video editing in Premiere and After Effects

    Hello there,
    Basically I have DSLR Camera (Canon 600D) which I use to film in Full HD (1080P 50fps) for my movies (short plays and medium plays).
    So, I am thinking to buy a laptop with main porpouse to edit my videos in Premiere CS6 and After Effects CS6 and I would like to ask you guys if you can help me choose one. Maximum I could spend is 1000€.
    So, I don't care how much time my laptop will take to export movies, but what is most important to me is smooth editing ( fast pre-rendering). I know that pre-render / in software render uses Nvidia CUDA cores to acelerate the process.
    I choosed these two laptops:
    ASUS K750JB:
    Intel i7 4700HQ 2.4 - 3.4GhZ
    12GB RAM 1600mHz
    Nvidia GT 740M 2GB DDR3 384 Cuda Cores <<< ---- can this one do the job done?
    1TB 5400RPM <<<--- I am thinking on buying 60GB SSD extra for OS and Adobe Programs
    17.2'' Screen 1600x900
    Price: 799€
    HP Envy 15-j011sp:
    Intel i7 4700MQ 2.4 - 3.4GhZ
    8GB RAM 1600mHz <<<---- I could buy 4GB extra
    Nvidia GT 740M 2GB DDR3 384 Cuda Cores
    1TB 5400RPM <---- I could buy 60GB SSD extra
    15.6'' Screen 1920x1080
    Price: 810€
    So, as you saw, Two of these laptops have 740M Graphic card. Asus is parcially alluminun, but  HP is totally alluminum.
    Do you think these two are good for edit videos from my DSLR camera? As I said, I don't care how much time it takes to render movie. What is most important to me is editing smooth experience.
    Thank you!

    Do either of these laptops allow you to install a second drive?  This ASUS G750 that I am using now does and it made a world of difference when I cloned the OS/Applications disk from the 1 TB 5400 rpm drive to a 128 GB fast SSD and installed a second 256 GB SSD (both are Samsung 840 PRO SSD's).  Without doing that I am quite sure you will be disappointed.especially with your media from a DSLR.  See the excellant article by Harm on laptops

  • Would CS6 work well with a Dell Latitude E5440 laptop?

    I'd be using it for editing sound files. Here are the laptop's specs:
    Processor: i5-4300U 1.9Ghz (Hasswell)
    Memory: 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3L
    Hard Drive: 320GB 7200rpm SATA
    Thanks!

    Should be fine, with a few provisos:
    -You haven't specified what Operating System you plan to use.  Some are better than others. 
    -"Editing" is a broad term.  The more individual tracks you add, the more procession power and RAM you'll need.  A 1.9GHz i5 could be limiting, espeically if you use lots of real time effects.  However, it'll certainly handle most things.
    -As with any laptop, the onboard sound is rubbish.  You'll need an external USB interface for any sort of quality.
    -320 GB of disk fills up pretty fast with uncompressed wave files.  You'll likely want an external drive as well.  FYI, Audition (and most DAWs) works better with on drive for the OS and software and a different one for the data (wave) files.

    Say thanks! with a kudo.
    Even better: Pay it forward, help someone else.

    Dell's Latitude now looks very similar with the HP Elitebook. Quality wise, i am not sure if it is better or worse than new Thinkpads or Elitebooks.
    Lenovo Thinkpad is priced extremely competitively in North America, which is at a detriment to the consumers in other parts of world.

  • Is a Dell latitude 610 laptop compatible with a ipod touch 4th gen?

    My sons 610 won't recognize or charge his new gen 4 touch when you plug it in to laptop, He previously owned a touch 2nd gen and it worked fine with computer, trying to find  out if this ipod isn't compatible. Have already checked service pack is correct, it has a 2.0 usb port, and itunes has been updated.Also the Ipod read and works fine in my computer which is a inspiron 1525 so the ipod works fine.  Thanks

    Does the computer have iTunes version 10.7 or higher?
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.
    Have you tried another cable?

  • Reset BIOS on Dell Latitude E6410

    We have 10 of these machines that were used in a non-profit educational project where the BIOS password was changed by students who then left. 
    We tried removing the CMOS battery (coin battery) but that makes no difference, other than bumping the date back to 2011. The BIOS setup is still locked, and you can't even change the date without a password.

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/07/21/hack-connected-car-raises-alarm-over-driver-safety/304...There are a number of things that bug me about this:
    1. Almost every network device I've seen to flash the firmware you have to have a direct tie into the device to do the update. Unless it's like a home router where you click browse and select a new software.
    2. Who thought remote flashing of firmware of something like this was wise? Granted doing it direct is a bit annoying, but I would say is more secure. Unless you have some sort of a central management system flashing something is going to reset it to factory, and allow hacker to do whatever they want. I think flashing something like this should only be done by authorized shops and they would have to have some sort of an electronic card to authenticate then plug in the ODBC2 port...

  • I cant download all my iPhone photos onto my Dell Latitude laptop. I get the impression that Apple are trying to force me to buy iCloud space in order for me to do this. If so then I'm done with Apple products. I would rather buy a Samsung in the fut

    If you cant read what I've written above then your system is just pathetic. At my age, I don't need to be instructed on "how to write a good question". Why must a brief detailed  technical question be summarized? Why cant I do the supposedly simple task of downloading "all" of my photos from my 64g iPhone 5s onto my Dell Latitude E6410 laptop in one simple press of the button process? Instead my Laptop is always trying to download mega gigabytes of all my laptop photos onto my iPhone. I am now totally convinced that the Apple Corporation has implemented a scheme trying to "force" me, and every other Apple customer, to buy more iCloud storage instead of allowing us the cheaper option of storing our own photos on our own lap tops and our own external hard drives. If this is the case then Apples tactics are back-firing, and I for one, will never buy another complicated, user-unfriendly, rotten capitalistic Apple product again. If there is a simple way of downloading all of my photos onto my laptop in one simple move then why cant it "simply" show you how to do it, like all the other companies smart phones do? From one **** of an irate customer. K.I.S.S. or lose customers. Don't try to rip us off financially, with devious money making schemes, the general public will respond accordingly and you WILL lose market share.

    Go buy a Samsung if its suits you better then and don't be rude these are user forums !
    Give Google more information about you what you do where you are etc....... TO TARGET adverts at YOU via Android at the same time.
    Or whats wrong with the FREE photo stream conduit that over air transfers images to your pc pictures folder (And you don't need to buy any extra storage ever) the images just transfer !
    Also what is so difficult with plugging in to a USB socket and having images automatically uploaded/downloaded into your Pictures folder ?
    Unless of course your PC USB is a slow 1.1 socket !
    True the sync process is all encompassing rather then delta but it does mean true syncing
