Dell Precision M3800 Owner's Review

Anyone in the know on whether the Swissgear case http://www.ebuyer.com/616894-wenger-administrator-slimcase-67696201 fits the M3800?

 

The successor to the m3800 would be dell Precision 5510

 

This is just stupid! based on this link they have opted to go with the archaic K1000M quadro in the new 5510! what the hell!

No wonder why the guy in the above video didn't say anything about the video that is in this thing!

I sure hope that is a miss print!

 

My bad, its actually the M100m not the K1000m, sorry for flying off the handle like that

 

I'm highly disappointed the keyboard still uses the annoying multi-purpose cursor keys. There's no reason that there is no room for at least Home/End keys-- perhaps right above Left and Right. For mobile workstation users (developers, etc) this is really useful.

Also, I sure hope that touchpad is not the same archaic PS/2 Synaptics touchpad in the M3800 instead of the new Windows 10 certified I2C HID "enhanced" ones. From what I've seen testing laptops in some stores, even the CHEAPEST no-name brand HID touchpad is superior to any ancient PS/2 one. Really interested in an answer to this. I believe the XPS 13 uses an enhanced HID touchpad.

 

Does the M3800 have optical out through the headphone port like the rMBP?

 

No. The only way I'm aware of to get digital audio out of the M3800 is to use a separate DAC via USB, or to split it from the video signal. HDMI splitters are pretty cheap, but I don't think you can do that without a monitor plugged in.

 

Hello! Have anybody problem with brightness control on windows 10? Or maybe some one have solution of this problem?

 

Sorry I'm not here to help you, but I'd just like to say that I noticed a drop in display quality as soon as Windows10 was installed (upgrade by Microsoft) and I've never sorted it.

 

it's like a system bug. brightness control work for a half. I "disable" intel 4600, now I'm work on nvidia. Brightness level on MAX and I can't change it. For now.
