Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge

Just to let know European customers that led screen WUXGA option (not displayed on site) on M6400 silver base is 155€ (without vat.), only 25€ more than the CCFL WUXGA option. I was expecting it at least twice expencive, so it's a good news.

The seller offert me to get the orange color for free if I want too (so I can fake covet... great !).

As expected, Dell is over-selling its HDs and the guy tried to sell me bigger HDs than the tiny 120GB (which I don't want as I will stick my owns in).

 

Before XMas they charged 300€ for the RGB-LED and 599€ for the E2E-RGB-LED! For 155€ it's an amazing offer!

Is the orange cover now available for the non E2E-Display? Or will you get the E2E screen as a free update? [The normal RGB-LED has a matte finish, the E2E screen has a glass plate as a protection (like the new MacBooks) and for a slighty better contrast.]

congrats...
I'd still love to the the non E2E screen in person to compare what the E2E glass plate really does
Compared to normal matte notebooks/tft the E2E screen seems very clear and sharp, but perhaps the normal RGB-LED screen is as good, without reflections??

 

Intoxicate, he said orange cover with matte RGB-LED, yes.

 

I just started to notice how much better the LED screens are now after playing COD 4 last night.

 

my colleagues m6400 arrived 2 days ago..its rocking...no issues..he did say it crashed once or twice while playing left for dead but thats supposedly a issue in that game and he had to change some settings...he is getting 2 hrs of battery usage with wifi on and running VERY heavy 3d applications

 

That's all I play on my M6400 and my computer has never crashed on me. I also use drivers from laptopvideo2go.com.

 

Which drivers are you using?

 

181.20, I'm pretty sure. The very latest made my screen look weird so I rolled back. These have been pretty stable for me.

 

Hopefully he didn't ignored the glass plate the covet has a matte screen covered by a glass plate...

I noticed especially in dark setting a great improvement!

Left 4 Dead crashes on my M6400 too. I think it's an issue of the game, because all other games work perfekt.

Try the 179.44. It's certified and I get the best results for work and games yet.

 

just checked dell Singapore's website...there's a HUGE price drop in the m6400, last week my config = 6087USD, now its 4682USD...

the major reductions i see are on the core 2 quad extreme, the nvidia quadro 3700m and some price reduction on the 4gb ram chips.
