    Hi, I'm thinking about the E6520 and M4600 for Photoshop and 3D apps (3ds, cinema4d...).
    I'm not sure about the Premium screen of E6520:
    Is it as good as the one in XPS15?
    Is the IPS panel in M4600 worthier?

    Thanks in advance!

    I have a PR03X docking station and when I dock my E6520 (with or without the battery attached) it does not seat in firmly, the laptop tend to tilt left or right depending if I apply slight pressure on the top corners or top keyboard. Do you get the same feeling? Any advice to make it seat firmly?

    Thanks

    Hi all,

    I just updated my Bios from A05 to A08 (I think fans are noisier now too)

    I noticed at the bottom of the list of changes for A08 was:

    "acpi os support: 0.0.0.1"

    anybody know what that's for/what it does?

    I remember when Dell sent me the 64bitWin7 disc, I tried to install windows7 under "UEFI", but I couldn't get it to work so I went back to "Legacy" and windows installed fine then, might the above update be related to this or am I just getting confused?

    I think mine was noisier too when it was on A07, tried A08 but one diagnostic test failed, so reverted to A06 and it still a little noisy.

    I got the same SSD, I went for the clean install, here is the order in which I installed all drivers.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell-latitude-vostro-precision/587149-e6520-e6420-driver-install-list-2.html#post8126791

    So far all has been working great.

    Good luck!
