New M6500 Discussion Thread

Thanks for the info! a daughter card sounds good to me

 

Great news. Would that be likely to extend to the UK too? Obviously daughter card is best. I guess you need technician install to maintain warranty? Would the labour be covered on the 3 year standard on-site plan, or is this going to cost us $$$ / £££ / €€€?

 

Order confirmed cancelled by Dell. Will reorder when Dell get there duckies lined up in a row...still want the machine, sux.

 

I read in this topic there is a link between dell 1510 (wifi card) and this sound problem. Can you disable wifi or better remove your wifi card to see if there is a change?

 

Cool, I think you're the first to get the M6500 with the DDR3 1600 ram. What's the timing?

 

I am waiting for dell to implement these Option then I will buy the M6500.

Dell is updating its Precision M6500 laptop System with Intel’s Core i5, USB
3.0, and a few other new options, that will be available by the end of February 2010.

I do not work for Lenovo, or Dell. I work for my Customers, just like most of you. I go the extra mile for my customers. My Customers Demand Excellence, and I Demand Excellence from my workstation. If I can’t use the M6500 in front of my customers what good is it?


And I don’t know what happen to the Display Panel in Richard Thwaites and Steven Roselle videos, but dell give us your customers the option of that Display or an LG, whatever but don’t give us some piece of crap. Everyone is into this system for $6000.00+ do you think we will mind spending an extra $200.00 $300.00 on a Display Panel come on, do not insult Us. And list the manufacture and part number of the Display Panels so we can make our own choose.

Read Cannonball's Post#1657 he has no Problems with his LG Display Panel

There are several people on this thread with the same problem. I’m just trying to figure
out the worse case. Replacing the display panel is no big deal, I Just want to know that’s all.
Giving me the runaround about it just confirms it.

Read post#1065 and Read post#1137 & post#1140 and the post in between as well as post#1170 just keep reading you will get the point, additionally read the links within this thread.

And then Read Post#1508 and

dell can send me two M6500's one with the Samsung Display Panel
and one with the LG Display Panel and I will test them.

 

mannyA,

I don't understand what you mean by this quote above? The panels in the systems that both Rik Thwaites and Steven Roselle used are Samsung RGB panels. I should know because I gave them the systems that they were/are using.
As stated many times by others on this forum, the RGB panels in the M6500 are the best they have seen. I understand that some people want to further calibrate them, I have no issues with this, I just don't want people jumping to conclusions regarding the LCD's that we are shipping. I know that the front of screen performance is something that we really take pride in and are working with people on this forum to get it right for them.

 

with the 1510 disabled, I still get the issue. I have not tried removing it yet. I will when my 5300 shows up.

 

Nice..... Don't forget to get the new 1.5 firmware if you haven't already.

 

I missed something, 1.5 firmware for?
