New M6500 Discussion Thread

Someone know if it is possible to have the Capture Software as with Latitude "Easy Scan and Copy"?

Thanks for the help.

 

Hi giannini,

I am with you on that!!

That would be a sweet addition to the M6500.

 

I remember there was discussion of the "Precision On" button earlier in the thread. Well I actually tried it out, and yes it works. Very quick access to your Outlook email, contacts etc. from a standing start of the machine being off or hibernated - much quicker than booting up. I can think of perhaps 10 occasions ever when I might have made particularly good use of this, but it's not exactly going to transform my life.

 

Hi penguintree,

I think once we get used to it being there and using it, over time it will be a great addition to the M6500’s arsenal of must haves.


Just my two cents

 

I tried it. I don't think 'Precision On' is sexy at all. Would rather get my email on the iphone. Just my $.02

 

Hi all,

Hello Experts!

I'm new on this forum and I'm a waiting customer who soon will be a proud owner of a M6500 (ATI + White Led + 8GB 1333, 64GB SSD + 500GB).

I have been reading about the Dell 64GB SSD disk it's relative poor performance compared to e.g. the newest Intel X25-M 160GB Gen2 SSD and standard HDD.

My question is. Are there anything I should be aware of if I want to exchange the Dell 64GB SSD with the new Intel X25-M 160GB Gen 2 SSD? Off course I need to reinstall the OS, but that is probably the best to do anyway - just to get rid of all the nice add ons...

Thanks in advance

I would install your OS on the fastest drive you have, and leave the slower one for data and scratch disks/cache.

All you have to do is install the new drive in one of the two bays and install your OS to it. Nothing fancy.

 

LE = big $$$
That looks to be a serious drive. However and dare I complain after owning an M6500 that the $1000 it will cost for 200GB will be too much for my blood.

 

And no Office 2010 support makes it ever more worthless right now.
