New M4500 Discussion Thread

chassis design hasn't changed much at all but despite the fact its 16:9 it steers me away x_X

 

Hahaha that cracked me up XD. Well anyway, its not always that bad but at certain times there will those things when you wish you could change back to 16:10. If they did have it in covent which for a quick second i thought they did offer one and some sexy sq rgb led and we are good to go lol. core i7 extreme would seem to be awesome also.

 

It looks like they've solved many of the design problems with the m4400 (rubber bumpers, larger touch pad, two hinge locks, larger heatsink, etc...

man...I wish dell had a trade in program....

 

do you have marks on your palmrest and LCD Bezel from the lack of rubber bumpers on your M4400?

 

I did but within a month of noticing those marks, I bought some rubber bumpers from walmart. Pathetic on dell's part... So many little annoyances that prevent the m4400 from being truly great.

 

What's the video card comparison?

 

Roughly it's up to: Quadro 380M/1800M/3800M on the 14/15.6/17 workstations, so there is a significant step up at each level.

 

Anybody know how the 1800M compares to the 3800M, or even the older 3700M?

 

guys, what's wrong with 16:9?

 

If you're viewing your standard text document, and also most web pages, it's really vertical screen real estate that you are interested in. The wider aspect ratio that is now being pushed is fine for games and videos, but for the few remaining people who actually do work on their computers this makes little sense.
