Dell Precision M6700 Owner's Review

Actually no. Despite it's massive size, my HDX has survived being toted around routinely and remains structurally sound to this day.

If a laptop of that size can be carried in a backpack, there shouldn't be any worry for any of the sizes below that.

Isn't is obvious by now?

 

I'm going to guess its because the firepro performs nearly as well for a small fraction of the price.

 

I'm pretty sure he's a gamer, which inevitable defines one distinctive video card camps. e.g. Firepro.

 

1) Long term stability - Had plenty of AMD and Nvidia cards in the past but the REDs never failed on me, which I can't say about the Greens, pretty much every Nvidia GPU I owned had some issues. That's my subjective experience.

2) Price - The K5000M is probably the most powerful mobile GPU out there right now. The M6000 is supposed to be half as powerful but at a 1650$ less, the choice is clear.

I'm not a gamer but wouldn't mind the extra power. If the 7970m can work in the M6700 with IPS - that's going to be my upgrade down the road. If there's no such compatibility, - will wait till a more powerful FirePro is released, but I'm not supporting Nvidia till they change their ways.

 

Hey Bokeh,

First of all, thank you for the amazing review and pictures. You've single-handedly convinced me to get the dell precision laptop over hp, or lenovo.

I have a question for you...

Are you using a dell port replicator to connect your monitors? And if so, are the monitors daisy chained into the display port 1.2?

I'm only asking because I will be putting together a similar set-up, and I haven't had any experience with daisy chaining dell monitors together into a display port 1.2.

I was wondering also if you know of any helpful tips, or diagrams on jpeg or pdf that might aid me in daisy chaining monitors together, so that I may have a independent quad display set up like you have.

Please, if anyone can help me in this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S. you've definitely earned your "notebook deity" status. +1

 

Make sense.

Speaking of firepro, Will the m6700 have FirePro+IPS compatibility? If so, when?

 

Yes. "Soon" is all we've got.

 

Oh ok, thanks. I hope soon= between September/October.

Ha-ha yeah, I know it is cheaper, but I thought there was another reason why(besides being cheaper).

Aaron44126,Boken or any m6700 owners, are you going to make an unboxing video?

 

Hoping for mid/late August.

 

It is, alonge with it's gaming counterpart brethren the Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 . But you know that one-upmanship and AMD/ATI never ends. Anyway, the k5000 is a professional card designed and tested for stability. even thought you may not thinks it matters.
