    Agreed. Although I'm starting to reposition my right hand (to the right) when doing delicate mouse work and it feels okay/natural.

    About 9 months ago I asked DELL to please make integrated graphics available as a power saving option in their new workstation.

    The DELL marketing people would be all over it - fastest notebook with 4hr battery life! (and they would neglect to mention when using integrated graphics!).

    Sorry to be blunt about this but I pointed out this error several times (this forum, my DELL rep, and to you via email) 4-6 weeks ago, and the incorrect info is still online.

    But thanks for the updated clarification (which you had also posted ~4 weeks ago), so I assume it may not be within your domain to get these things fixed in a more timely manner.

    [Toshiba has introduced the world's first 512GB SSD. The 2.5-inch drive has a SATA 3.0Gbps interface; maximum sequential read and write speeds are 240MB/s and 200MB/s respectively. The drive, THNS512G8BB, is likely to enter mass production in the second quarter of next year. Pricing information has not been released.]

    RAID 0 woul give 1TB.
    What would the read & write speeds be in the M6400?

    What is the RAM throughput in the M6400?

    [NVIDIA decided to give notebook users an early Christmas present today. It's a present notebook owners have kept on their wish lists since NVIDIA first started making graphics processing units (GPUs) for notebooks ... downloadable drivers on the NVIDIA website.]

    Anyone used this with the 3700M?

    The Nvidia notebook drivers do not recognize the Quadro 3700. You can use the modded INF file I think, but I ended up installing the 180.48 drivers with the modded INF file for better gaming and WoW performance specifically.

    The 130W power supply of the M4400 works with the M6400, but it's not enough under load. My M6400 downclocks under full load with the 130W adapter (T9400, FX 3700M, 8GB Ram)

    Hi there,

    I think some people have had think and fixed it by turning off the "A" wireless band on the wifi card... Goto device manager- find the card, and somewhere in there disable this band.

    Regards,
    Simon
