New M4500 Discussion Thread

Please forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is an "RGBLED" panel? How does that compare to a regular Latitude panel, or even one of those glossy "TrueLife" type of panels found on consumer models?

 

You can get a rough idea of where they stand from here:

RGB LED means that the screen has an RGB LED backlight iso a White LED backlight like you see on most panels now. RGB LED can produce much more and better colours than a simple WLED so better picture overall. I still wonder what the specs are for the sRGB panel, if they start to sell perfect sRGB colourspace panels on laptops i'm in!

Edit...does anyone know what Geforce cards these Qudro's are built on?

 

gt 330m and gt 335m afaik

 

I wish they would have kept the same 'rippleback' as on my m4400....I've got an m6500 on order, but have thought about changing it to this....but, 16.9 idk. If they put a full number pad on it.

 

I think srgbled means super rbgled sounds awesome actually, if your a college student and write a lot of documents then the 16:9 is going to bother you, like it does with me, killer.

 

Wonder if they will have support for Raid0+1 this time around, and whether they will give the 1.8" enclosures a miss.

As many will think not having numpad will be a good thing, personally I dislike squashed numpads and offset keyboards, even on a 17", there's always the HP for those who like a built in one.

At least they haven't put a bookshelf on the back of it.....16:9, yeah well, we all new it was going to happen.....what do you guys reckon is the closer to WSXGA on a 16:10.....1600x900 or 1920x1080, I'm thinking 1600x900 due to the shorter screen height?

 

Hey there Weegie.... Yeah, I'm an accountant otherwise I wouldn't want the numpad mashed in there like that

 

Not so much the numpad Z, more the offset keyboard proper when typing for me [need all the help I can get ], used to use a usb numpad, but forced myself to learn the upper numerical keys, I use numerical keys more than an average person would with drawing/model dimensions, but doubt anywhere as much as you would.

Still it's a "pro" for me that it doesn't have one, going by notebookchecks pic.

 

...they change the speaker from the m4400 ?'
