PS2 is not as big of a deal but nice to have for testing old hardware.

The most important legacy port, for me, is the serial port, and secondly, the parallel port. Just because something has been considered “end of life” by the masses, doesn’t mean that it is obsolete. I do a number of things with older hardware. If I am encoding video, that changes things Regardless of the added weight, having this capability gives me a very welcome 9 to 10 hours of battery life under low loads. The downside, it does make it a bit heavy, especially if you are packing more than one laptop in your bag. Two options that I know of, a 9-Cell battery and using the dock system, I can add a second 9-cell battery called a “battery slice” which also gives the computer a nice comfortable tilt. My dock station has USB 3, this is not available on all E-Series docks.

I have seen some Thunderbolt docks on Windows 10 work very poorly but it was also not on a Dell.
The monitors always appear just as they are supposed to and I don’t know if it is a Dell thing or an openSUSE / KDE Plasma thing but this process just works and has worked 100% of the time. This dock station has worked flawlessly for multiple dock and undock cycles in a single day. I like having the dock supply power, access to two other monitors and peripherals all available to me in one simple, quick action. I realize that this is quickly becoming a thing of the past but a good dock station that I can drop my computer onto that has all the ports on the back that works reliably is a must for me. I like a good computer with a hardy dock station. I am not sure what I will do with the WWAN labeled slot, maybe nothing, but it’s there. Once the panel is off, you have access to the memory and one of the mini-ePCI, one more panel in easily freed up reveals the last two mini-ePCI slots. I am very pleased by how easy it is to work on this machine. The whole bottom panel of the E6440 removes with only a few screws and leaves everything accessible on the underside of it. Since I have been using Dell for quite some time and they tend to be slow to change basic components, like the power supplies, I intended on sticking with the Dell brand and specifically with their Latitude line which is generally certified on some distribution of Linux. That means, I need to see screws and the design intent of the manufacturer was that it is mean to be in service for an extended period of time. Whatever machine I buy, it has to be serviceable. I have to really process it out, make sure it is what I want because I am committing to this piece of hardware for a significant period of time. I am slow to make a decision on buying new hardware. From the time I decided that it was time to replace the machine to the moment I committed the cash for a new machine, took me about 18 months. I still use the D630 regularly, but it just stays home now in its dock station. It took me 9 years before I replaced my Dell Latitude D630 as my primary machine. I will be hard pressed to find something comparable. It really isn’t the best in any one metric of a machine I have used but the cross-section of capabilities and expandability of it makes me appreciate it the most. Even though it is an older machine, I have to say that the Dell Latitude E6440 is quite possibly the best laptop I have ever used. I don’t buy things brand new because I have no need to stay on the “cutting edge” of technology and running Linux substantially extends the life of hardware. Initial production of this laptop was in 2014 and the model was discontinued sometime in 2016. Since day one, it has been running openSUSE Tumbleweed. Most cables, fans, accessories.I have been using the Dell Latitude E6440 since March of 2017. Only specific items have the standard mail option available.
