M4800 Owner's Thread

I bought an "E Port Plus II" docking station, which works great.

 

Thanks guys, this is indeed helpful. One few more questions:

# Going on Dell's US website, I do not see options to choose core configuration (RAM/CPU/GPU etc) from. It looks like there are set SKUs and those are all that one can get on their website. Is this true for buying it over a phone with a rep too?
# Looking at 6800, that one does not come with an IPS display. Does m4800 come with an IPS display (matte)?
# Besides the tertiary HDD, if I do not go with m6800, what else am I missing being with m4800?

Thanks in advance!

 

There is an option for a fully configurable M4800. It's on the second page of the M4800 models.

Hi,
It's a little bit difficult to understand which is the good docking station to buy. The E-Port Plus II is the one with USB 3? And the E-Port Plus with USB 2?
Are the USB connector black or Blue?
What AC adapter do you have? The PA-4E 130W AC Adapter or the FHMD4 240W AC adapter?
The AC adapter for the m4800 is a 180 W so I guess I should use the 240W AC adapter for the docking station? Is this right?
Thanks!

 

Here's the naming of all of the port replicatiors off the website. There's a special place in hell for the person in charge of naming all these....

I bought it off eBay with the 240W adapter. I believe it's USB 2 and not 3, but am not certain.

 

mSata i got it for around 150$ brand new and sealed which is a steal price for an ssd of that capacity (240gb) in my country.

Could you post a front and rear picture of your docking station? Is this this one : Dell Part# 331-6304? The sticker should have the #.
By the way is your AC adaptor the FHMD4? I guess it's this one, that's the only 240W one.
Thanks!

 

Just left the office. Will try and remember to check tomorrow.

I see, thanks. I guess my next question relates to the FHD screen. Has anyone successfully upgraded the M5100 to the M6100? I'm currently on the fence about the M4800 and want to know how GPU upgradeability is down the road.
