Dell Precision M3800 Owner's Review

I know there are shorter adapters for microSD that you can use with a raspberry pi for example, if a full size SD card doesn't fit, microSD + half height adapters might be flush or close to flush.

 

Sticks out by 6mm.

Testing with a Sandisk Ultra 64GB card -
Read speed is 45.22MB/s
Writes are 15.89MB/s

 

Lite-On 256GB SSD

Test ---------- Read [MB/s] ---------- Write [MB/s]

Seq ----------- 502.7 -------------------- 427.6
512K --------- 384.8 -------------------- 405.6
4K ------------- 33.15 -------------------- 68.38
4K QD32 ---- 366.0 -------------------- 306.9

 

According to PDF brochure of XPS15, the screen seems to have 10-finger touch support, so what's the truth 5 or 10 fingers?
Maybe someone could try some free application to draw from market store and try to draw something with 10 fingers.

 

Random data or all zeroes or ones?

 

Ain't nobody got time to look through 40+ pages--Do we know how much this is going to cost? (Yes, I tried searching for keywords "price" and "cost" and got no results.)

EDIT: Nevermind...geez...1800 bucks for this thing? For something with a GFX between the 740m and the 750m and a lower-end i7? How you gonna sell this to me? What makes it worth that much? What I see:

+Carbon Fiber
+Amazing screen
-Lower-end processor
-lower-end graphics card (How do this and, say, the 765m compare to each other in the area of CAD rendering?)

Let me know if there was something I missed here.

 

Bokeh, make sure you mention the power profile you're using when testing SSD performance.

 

It's cheaper than 15" rMBP.

 

Crystal Disk Mark 1000MB test.

Stock High Performance profile

 

Light weight: 4.3 pounds (2/3 that of the equivalent m4800). High build quality. Long battery life (likely 9+ hours for the top spec). Awesome screen.

The processor and graphics card were chosen for good (not spectacular) performance while being light on energy usage and heat output.

If you don't care about weight or battery, then you should definitely just get the m4800. Since the m4800 doesn't care if it gets 2 hours of battery life, it can pack in beefier hardware. And since it's not supposed to be thin and light, it can take the higher heat output and just use bigger fans and bigger heatsinks.
