Precision 7510 Owner's Thread

Thanks guys. I will have to find an mSata => M.2 NVME adaptor if that exists or go for an M.2 NVME 1T drive when purchasing. It's a pity I paid around 500€ for the 1TB samsung mSata drive when I got my M3800.

 

As for the screen I think I'll go for the IGZO one. It seems power efficient. I found some info here:

http://www.overclock.net/t/1449080/igzo-vs-ips-which-one-is-better-in-terms-of-display-quality

IGZO is not actually a panel type. It's a type of transistor used in a display's TFT backplane, which is what controls the display panel (whether that panel is TN, IPS, or even OLED). It uses Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide as a semiconductor instead of Silicon.

Compared to amorphous Silicon (aSi) which is what is used in typical displays, IGZO transistors have a lot higher electron mobility, so their conductivity is just as good at a much smaller size (conductivity depends on electron mobility and mass. Higher electron mobility means less mass is required for the same conductivity). With its small size compared to aSi, IGZO is useful for high density displays where aSi TFTs would start to block a significant amount of the backlight, requiring more power to the backlight to compensate (increasing exponentially as the pixel density increases). With IGZO TFTs, not as much backlight is needed to get the display to a certain brightness. So all-in-all for current LCDs like IPS monitors, IGZO mostly translates into some power savings. However, IGZO can also operate more quickly than aSi which may be useful if OLED takes off and the refresh rate limitations of LCD are no longer applicable. Furthermore they can be made transparent, which again may be useful if OLED takes off, since OLEDs can be made transparent as well.

For current displays though? IGZO just means some power savings especially on mobile devices with ultra-dense displays. There is no difference in image quality, accuracy, or what have you, between aSi-TFT-driven IPS displays and IGZO-TFT-driven IPS displays.​

 

Can someone please help me with choosing of the screen? I need(want) to order as soon as possible

Which is the brightest screen?

15,6-inch UltraSharp™ Full HD IPS (1.920 x 1.080
15,6 inch UltraSharp Full HD touch
15,6 inch UltraSharp UHD

please, I read the complete thread but this makes me wonder more...

 

The mSata to NVMe does not seem to be a mainstream adaptor. I found one here. Not sure it does really do msata to M.2 NVMe. And It will probably not fit in the M.2 slot even if it works. Can you guys give me the M.2 slot dimensions?

There is no room in the M.2 slot for an adapter. Even if it physically fits in the slot, having something that is "two cards" tall will make it impossible to put the bottom cover of the laptop back on. I imagine this would be designed for desktop boards with M.2 where space is not an issue.

 

Thanks for the confirmation. I will go for a 1 TB M.2.

 

This 1 TB M.2, is this a NVMe type? (not specified in the list)

 

I guess so. On the french site it says PCIe only. No details. Two type standard and high perf. According to my readings the're from samsung. High performance =SM951. Standard = PM951.
Price:
Standard 1TB = 459€. The high perf one is not available in 1TB.

1TB is available only through Dell or on ebay. I haven't found it elsewhere, even amazon is not selling it.
