M4800 Owner's Thread

It does, I swapped out the card for an Intel AC-7260 as well, after I had received the machine.

 

Hi Tyrell,

In this page, Análisis completo del Dell Precision M4800 - Notebookcheck.org


at the end of the review there is a link what you can download it.

 

That's pretty pointless concidering that the M4800 has 4 USB 3.0 ports

I reinstalled mine because I was installing an SSD

 

I always do. If I haven’t installed it myself, how could I know it was done right?

I rationalised this gut decision with figuring out it was the only way of going UEFI/GPT. My machine came with Windows 7 pre-installed, but I was in no mood to saddle a brand-new beast with an ‘aging’, dead-end system, even if my first weeks with Windows 8.1 felt scary and frustrating as so many things didn’t work the way I needed them to—until I figured all the tricks and hacks.

 

There may be a good reason, after all: If one is his own IT support, then it helps in the long run to know what ‘went in’ and how, even if it’s a lot of work upfront. I did use computers imaged by someone else in the past, but they were computers I could just hand over to someone for support.

 

This was actually a big plus for me. I *hate* Windows 8.

 

@tdw_

hating is one thing appreciatiing smooth frame rates and responces in w8.1 made me like it, I just done what others did installed shell to make it look as if W7 and then I understood that I could do even without. yes metro is lets say off-putting but I am happy so far with how 8.1 handles on my RAID0 M4800: very stable, no more drops, cooler temps, efficient graphics allocation, good visualization response, hyper-threading is utilized, and colors in Photoshop are with less banding. list goes on... all at the cost of ? windows basic mode...

good points @Alexhawker

Hi. How did you manage to edit the bios and go beyond 840 MHz ? Currently I am at 840mhz core and 1900mhz ram but that's as far it can reach in nvidia inspector.

 

can I ask where you guys are buying your m4800 with wqhd, i7 and wigig( don't need this, just need it wired, I can pull a wigig card from my e7440 or e7240). I don't usually find any on the dell outlet site? Ram and SSD are not important as I can add that.

 

the wireless dock has an hdmi port, I connect the hdmi from my big screen to the wireless dock. From there I can do work from my couch, display some work on the big screen and some on my e7240 or e7440 1080p screen.
