New M4500 Discussion Thread

What happened to the one you had?, your getting a bit of a collection

 

Hey Weegie...I could short the bank with that geek speek....lay it down daddio, lay it down.....

 

Haha, like when you start talking about VM's and advanced linux geek speek [lol@geek speek]
Double dutch to me Z.
I read it off the internet..

 

Yo that was so funny, yeah geek squad come to my house and help me out here, just don't damage something if so then its out of your pocket techie! LOL The dell tech told me, " Why do you have the most complicated systems"! lol I said because i never settle for nothing less than that. The M4500 is something i have been waiting for years, i hope this machine has tri piplines for cooling cause that 920 Extreme is going to blow a mobo i know for sure. Cmon dell you slow pokes enough with the waiting, your birthday is on the same day as mine! What happened too USB 3.0 its going to save so much battery life!

 

Current USB 3.0 solutions aren't power optimized as they all use expansion cards (instead of native built into the motherboard).

 

haha....on my m6500 I don't think that matters much even if that's true for this unit..... My m4400 was no battery champ either.

 

does it make sense to buy an m4400 right now or wait for the m4500... won't the m4400 be way less expensive?

and would you all recommend the i5 or i7 chipset? how about the older T series dual core chipset?

 

Depends what you're doing on your notebook and your budget.

 

solidworks 2010

 

From what I've heard, Solidworks is mostly GPU based and since the GPU in the M4500 is better than the M4400, it will be faster. But if you're looking for alternative solutions, I'd recommend the HP 5840w with FirePro M5800 1GB GDDR5 - it will blow away Dell's FX 1800M 1GB GDDR3.
