I want to thank you for posting your installation experience with Centos 7. My laptop is Latitude E6500 and I am quite certain it will experience the same issue because it is almost the same as your laptop. Difference might be in cpu speed
and in RAM. My cpu is 2.81GHz dual core, and RAM is 8GB.


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.
