the E6x00, E6x10, and E6x20 are completely different generations of the 
Core I processors and chipsets.   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.

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.

Greetings, Johan

Thanks for the feedback. Did you have to install or configure any packages
differently for the laptops than you would a desktop?
