The x can be 4 (14") or 5 (15"). so a E6520 and E6420 are nearly identical. the -00 were Core 2 Duo processors, with GM45 chipset. -10 were i5/i7 1st gen (3 digit) with QM57 chipset -20 were i3/i5/i7 2nd gen 2xxx with QM67 chipset -30 were i3/i5/i7 3rd gen 3xxx with QM77 chipset -40 are i3/i5/i7 4th gen 4xxx with QM87 chipset (these are current generation) each of these has a different set of choices for graphics, wifi, bluetooth, etc. so, no, what does or doesn't work on a E6500 has little to do with what will or won't work on a E6420. that said, these are very mainstream business laptops, I'd expect C7 to mostly work with them. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz Hello, I had C6 running on a lot of Latitude E6500 laptops and I now have C7 on all of them, and I do not have any complaints on overheating. In fact, I get no complaints at all on the laptop, apart from being heavy. I never had that on any laptop running Centos, and I have about 7 different models in use, Acer and Dell. I'm now working on a Latitude E6320. Yesterday, when burning a dvd, it became a bit warm, but no real issues. No experience with E6420 though, sorry.
