What you have to know - DELL Precision M4600

I can say that is absolutely TRUE ...

no one here in Greece can show me the Laptop there is no show room or anything familiar with that ..

so the only think that can help me is internet and YOU PEOPLE

I have already receive some offers about my configuration of M4600 (HP dealers did not give me any answer yet) and if I’m going to spend about 2.500 euro I have to be sure that this is write ..

All the Laptops have good thinks and bad thinks … but to select you have to know that the defects are (or what you think as a defect) so it does not matter to you ..

+rep for me too (and remind me to send you my bank account … for our bet)

 

Oh no, that is no fun

If you win the bet, I will airmail you a $10 bill. I am assuming you can spend it or get it exchanged.

Just thinking about Greece is making me crave Haloumi.

 

Agreed, Nice post man! Didn't realize that USB 3.0 has a 900ma now i can charge my Thunderbolt via my laptop.

 

I've still been having issues with USB 3.0 on my system. Seems to be a hit or a miss, some devices transfer at 100+mb/s while other devices are only transferring at 30-40 mb/s.

 

i put in another bug report.

apparently after running on battery for a while, when you re-plug in the socket power, the lcd brightness reminds the same on low. ie. on wall socket power, brightness should increase as per settings (75%), but brightness stick to the battery powered levels (20%) even if using wall socket power.

 

...
8. Don't buy this laptop with the stock screen (1366x768)

 

Add this:-

- WWAN card cannot coexist with MSATA SSD.
- M5950 does not support switchable graphic
