Dell :: M6400 And The M6400 Covet? Whats The Difference?
Jul 17, 2009Yup me again, in my hunt to determine if M6400 is right for me as it costs just about as much as a used car, I want to make sure its a good investment before I buy it.
What is the main difference with the M6400 and the M6400 Covet?
I configured both with the same specs and the Covet is about $900 more in price?
Does orange paint really cost that much?

Sep 19, 2008I recently bought an OEM Vista Home Premium 64-bit and installed is yesterday. I chatted to a Dell tech support guy today and he essentially said that I wasted my money on the 64-bit OS as Dell laptops do not support 64-bit Operating systems. He said this was due to the fact that my processor (see above) was a 32bit processor. I however came accross this intel site;[url] whci i believe to be my processor that states it is a 64-bit processor.
Another thing; in the dell tech support application, my total memory is shown as 4GB, whilst my available memory is shown to be 2.6GB. Does this mean that all 4GB is not being recognised/utilised? Or does it simply mean that 1.4GB of RAM is currently being used, with 2.6GB left for when I need it?

Mar 8, 2009Early last week my XPS M1330 started to blue screen and suffer screen pixelation issues on a frequently recurring basis.
Thanks to this forum I was soon able to deduce that my GPU was suffering from the well known GPU over-heating issue.
I called Dell XPS premium support on Wednesday afternoon and got through to someone in India who was extremely curtious, spoke excellent english and was obviously technically savy.
Dell :: Which Bag For The M6400?
Nov 22, 2008i'm waiting for the M6400 I ordered. I didn't choose any of the Dell bags cause I wanted to get it myself.

Dell :: If You Like Your M6400 Please Tell Me..!!
Apr 16, 2009I guess I'm about to get a mobile workstation. I already got an M90 it is great. Only one dead/stuck pixel and the front panel silver button paint came off in a few month of usage.
But I love it. So I am thinking of getting an M6400. Can you back me up on this one..?? Please if you own one tell me the pros and cons.. Have you noticed any Dead/stuck pixels.
What about built quality, feel, comfort, performance, heat, cooling, fan noise, screen quality ( thinking of LEG or RGB LED)..
Any creeking noise while opening the lid or holding or working on the laptop?? Any thing you can tell me about this beast of a machine will be a great help for me indeed

Dell :: My M6400
Oct 23, 2008my M6400 is here - just wanted to post some first impressions.
X9100 - 3.06ghz
4GB DDR3
Quadro 3700M
1440x900 WXGA+
Wireless 5300
Bluetooth 370
DVD+RW slot load
Silver Color
Backlit keyboard
Webcam
2x 80GB 5400rpm drives
2 Intel X25-M 80GB SSD drives will be replacing those 80GB's.
First - my first thoughts are that this system is Fantastic!
The screen is great - its an LG, fantastic colors, no dead pixels. Typical viewing angles for non LED screen, not great, but not noticeably bad either.
No noticeable bleeding, no graininess - very happy with the screen.
Ran 3Dmark 06 (1280x800, stock drivers) - 11,619
GPU temp was around 80 C - not bad at all.
So far, very happy. Putting the SSD ddrives in now - will post more thoughts as I do more. Will post pics ASAP.
Update 1: 2 80GB SSDs are in place - this has Intel's Matrix Storage which allows the creation of one RAID1 volume (which I will use for valuable data) and a RAID0 volume for the rest of the space - this is very nice - get the benefits of both types of RAID in one system!
Update 2: The power brick is completely absurd. Its HUGE - 210W. The good news is that I plugged in a 130W from a M4400 and although I get the popup about the AC adapter not being at least 150W, it does charge the battery and allow the system to run. To me, this is an acceptable alternative to lugging around the giant brick, at least for most things on the road - Later on, I will test the system with this adapter and see what kind of slowdown is caused.
Pics:
RAID Setup:
Next to a M4400 (that I believe I'll be returning very shortly):
Next to an older E1705 - these are virtually the exact same size - its astounding what new tech can cram into the same space
Dell :: RGB LED For M6400
Oct 7, 2008does anybody know when M6400 will be available with LED option?
I read - in some post - that the LED displays have quality issues.
if I order the notebook now (with CCFL option) can I upgrade to LED afterwards?

May 7, 2009I rely heavily on SDHC cards and use the built in card reader heavily in my Studio 1537.
I just bought a new Studio XPS 16 and it won't read my SDHC cards. I chatted with Dell last night and they took control of my system remotely.. They couldn't fix it, and finally said "The Studio XPS 16 does not support SDHC, you'll have to use regular SD"
I just find this hard to believe on a new, so called "State of the art system"
I also have a Studio 15 (1537) and SDHC works perfectly.
After fighting with several "Techs" and their "Supervisors" I returned the system and bought another..... AND, what do you know... I was right....It does support SDHC!!

I currently have a freshly undervolted Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz (I forget the model number).

Feb 28, 2009I'm thinking of buying a laptop which is quite powerful and can run Linux (most of my work is in Linux). I'm an engineering student and frequently need to use computationally intensive applications,
which are also graphically intensive. Following a post on another subforum (http://forum.notebookreview.com/show...6#post4548016), I was asked to confirm with Dell users here as to what their Linux experiences are.
I would appreciate inputs and suggestions about purchasing laptops from users of Dell laptops, especially the Latitide and Precision.
I understand that the appropriate subforum for this is different, but since this is now only a matter of deciding which Dell model to purchase
Dell :: M1530 Support More Than 4gb RAM On Vista (or 7) 64?

Dell :: E6400 And Business Support
Feb 16, 2009i wanted to buy a refurbished e6400 from the outlet and wanted to know how does the dedicated graphics card on it run? the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M With PC-Card. also how is the customer service and do they charge a restocking fee for the business side and do they pay for the shipping back to them?
also how is the build quality of them? are they that great compared to a lenovo y530/550, cuz i like the design of the ideapads but there not as reliable as the thinkpads.
also does dell usually have like free shipping or discounts for the business outlet cuz i know they did for home.
and the Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD With Express Card or like the ones WITH PC-CARD are they much different from the regular 4500mhd or x4500?
Dell :: XPS M1330/ Support Woes
Feb 25, 2010I am completely frustrated with Dell. I purchased my XPS M1330 in February, 2008. Thank God I also purchased a 3-year premium service contract. Since then I have had the motherboard replaced 4 times, the hard drive replaced once, the fan and heat sink system replaced, the keypad replaced, and the memory replaced.
I had to re-install my operating system and programs to get rid of a Blue Screen of Death, at Dell's insistence, when I knew and it was later substantiated that the motherboard was at fault, yet again. Needless to say, I had to exercise a lot of self-control after that. All that work and time invested and, PRESTO: Blue Screen of Death. So much for "it's a driver issue."
In my opinion, these laptops run way too hot and, as a result, kill components. Please don't get me wrong.
When it works it is a joy to own and use. But, if I take just the replacement motherboards (4) the replaced hard drive (1), the replaced keypad (1 or is it 2 now?), replaced memory (1), etc. and simply divide those 7 service calls by 24 months, it averages one major fix every three and a half months that I have owned the computer.
This is a far cry from the exceptional dependability of my old Inspiron 600M that never gave me one ounce of trouble in three years of very hard use.
Dell :: Wheres My MEMORY, Support MEM
Sep 23, 2008received my inspiron 1420 ( already having issues and concerns) one of them, is, when i went into the dell support center, i clicked on the "about your system" section, and when i click on the Memory tab, it said that i had 3gb Total memory, but just 2.2gb of available memory. What does this mean? and where did the rest of my memory go?... i have a inspiron 1420, with 2.4ghz, 3gb ram, and nvidia8400...

Also when I run my hand over it it feels rough compared to the glossy rest of the lid. Also you can only see it at angles not looking straight down

Dell :: To Charge For US-based Support
Dec 14, 2008I never thought I'd be writing this, but Dell (yes, Dell), is charging customers a monthly fee to have access to its United States-based customer service representatives.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that the PC maker is charging customers with a Dell account $12.95 per month to have access to an American agent or $99 per year for customers who buy a new PC from the company.
Those who don't pay the sum will be contacting center agents in India or the Philippines. But before you start your bellyaching, Dell is sweetening the pot: wait times are guaranteed to be 2 or fewer minutes!
I think this only pertains to the Dell Home systems.
Correction: They will provide this option for all Dell Home computers including XPS. If your curious the option is under services and the "Your Tech Team" option.
