More info pls! Just over build and quality PLS!

 

Well, I don't see anything wrong with it so far. Only thing which bothers me is that when I press power button, it sinks to the left side, so it doesn't feel like pressing the button at the center.
Also mouse button is bit different from other notebooks I used. M6300 mouse button sink far more than others but I like this one better.

Except power and battery button sinking to the left when pressed issue, I believe build quality is good for a business notebook.

Oh, and I was surprised that the notebook was super quite on normal operations. I can't hear anything, even the hard drive. It even made me wonder if the fans are broken.

 

sweeeeeet, thanks for posting. It's so rare finding info on this machine! tried playing any games?

 

Is your screen glossy truelife or matte? And how happy are you with screen's brightness, crispness, and both viewing angles? Thanks.

 

1920X1200 Glossy UltraSharp WUXGA TFT with TrueLife is what I got.
260nits, Contrast Ratio of 500:1

DVD
Viewing angle seems really good. I can keep lowering the screen lid and still see the screen till the very end. Same when viewed from the side. But if I lower my head, or flip the screen backwards, DVD screen fades away.

Text viewing angle = really good. can be read from angel if your eyes can recognize it.



When I set the background color to black, I can see my reflection but when switched to a picture or any wallpaper or doing other works, it doesn't stand out nor distracts me.
Not to be used under the sun. In a dark room, there is no reflection. To me, screen seems bright and crispy, more so because of high resolution

I really like this notebook but I wouldn't recommend to other normal users since I purchased specifically for FX1600M to 3D applications like Maya and Zbrush.

Notebook + Tax + 3 year accident complete care + 4GB RAM (internet buy) = $2600.
I gave up on Quad core since it costs about $1000. Also, system only detects 3.5Gb ram since its running 32bit OS.

I didn't run the 3DMark06 but score is about 4786 according to this review
or 4807 from here

 

beautiful! thanks for the quick little review. What do you think of the speakers?

 

Not good, but bearable compared to logitech z5500...
Watched pirates of the Caribbean and enjoyed it.
I won't expect too much from a laptop speaker.

 

hmm thats odd because a friend of mine who has the m90.. was tellin me that his speakers were great! lol, oh what ever.. i'm on my headphones most of the times anyways.

 

I guess because I compared to a full 5.1 speaker system.
Compared to my old Inspiron 8100, 300m, its great

 

This is what I got, and its running at 5-5-5-15.

For using 3d apps, my sister will get her hands on the notebook on 13th so I couldn't test it. But I opened up a sample zbrush model and played around and its working fine. Same goes for maya.
Performance incease with multi-thread testing on zbrush was 33%.

 

Can anybody compare results in Maya on M90 (fx3500) and M6300?

 

I got this information from a guy in Dell, but since I haven`t seen something similar before I have to assume that this info is not yet released in public...

“M6300 with 256MB FX1600 outperforms M90 with 512MB FX3500 in all key ISV applications”
