Buying a new laptop: E6500 vs M4400 (same price)

Other than the GPU and the lid, "Precision" is nothing more than a name. it's the same exact chassis as the E6500.

What's this 3rd button I keep hearing about?

 

For purposes mentioned, the E6500 with P9500 and Intel X4500HD IGP and WXGA+ LED would be the better choice.

The combination of the T9400 and nVidia GPU and CCFL WUXGA would not offer any performance advantage and would have a significantly lower battery life of as much as 90 minutes less in addition to considerably higher temps.

 

Very, very interesting opinion...

 

Precision's touchpads have 3 buttons. Which is the use for the middle button?

 

some programs use the middle click button. however i dont use those programs so i just set the middle button to perform a normal left click.

so basically i have 2 left click buttons, one right click button. you can also set it to do nothing

 

I really need WUXGA screen. Nowadays, I work with a Precision M20 with 14" SXGA+ (1400x1050) screen and I need "more space". If I go for WXGA+ I'll have 150 height pixels fewer!!

I think on 1440x900 there just isn't enough space for everything.

 

Thank you!!

 

Another question... there are differences on the weight for both machines?

I've an e6500 with P8600, NVS 160M, WXGA+ that weight 2,76KG... I heard that M4400 can be more heavy that e6500...

 

Firefox opens up a link in a new tab if the middle button is clicked. I use it all the time.

 

ohhhhh!!!! Great, great feature!!!
