New M6500 Discussion Thread

Anyone knows what the difference is between:

Dell Precision M6500 Mobile Workstation, Covet [Included in Price]


Dell Precision M6500 Mobile Workstation, Covet for Quad Core Processors [add $39.00]

and don't say $39.00 !!!

Also why no USB3 Covet?

 

Dell is sending me a new lid to replace it, I will have to call for a tech to do the job when I receive it.

I had a particular hard time this afternoon trying to calibrate my screen (BSOD, drivers issue...), just because my DTP94 wasn't powered enough by any of the USB port of the M6500. I had to buy a powered hub to fix it, so I will do my calibration tomorow.

I just took some luminance mesure with the 15 level of light adjustment (Panel : Samsung C751R,170CT WLED WUXGA) :
0 - 17.7 cd/m2
1 - 36.8
2 - 55.8
3 - 74.8
4 - 93.7
5 - 112.7
6 - 131.1
7 - 150.4
8 - 169.3
9 - 188
10 - 206.7
11 - 225.4
12 - 244
13 - 262.5
14 - 281
15 - 300.8

Just because it's new yet...I went ahead and ordered non covet....i was 50.50 anyway...

 

Since I have heard no word from my Rep or on here about retro fitting USB3 on the original M6500. I am returning today.

The best part is new model for the exact same configuration I had is now $350 less from when I ordered it a month ago.

 

dezoris,



All I can say to that is welcome to the New M6500 club...

 

Thanks, with the track record so far there will be a new new club next month.

 

Good One. lol I hope not that would just pi$$ me off. lol

 

All we need now is an early m6600 release in June.....LOL! If the machine didn't cost so much, I probably wouldn't care much.

 

Yeah for sure, I am hardly a cheap skate but, they refresh the system after a month add more features and charge less money, damn right I am returning it.

Lets hope this is the last time.

Scratch that there is no detail on if they included the 3.2 camera yet?
