Precision M4600 Owners Lounge

Massive? The larger power supply was 230w I think? I could be wrong. But basically the PA-9E power supply should be fine.

The m6100 is vBIOS moddable in the m6600 so you may be able to achieve 100% performance over the m5100. Of course that isnt guaranteed but unlocks potential to try it out.

 

I have the standard 180w but yes there is a 240w on ebay screen is not that big, if it were that Acer Predator lol almost the same weight that an standar desktop pc or more

 

PA-9E is slim, the older version was rather large in comparison. Much closer to my 330w power supply.

 

Yes i saw it is slim somewhat heavy but no at all, but there is no way of 3rd generation of Intel on that M6600? M4600 won't boot shame

 

Probably the same result but I dont recall someone testing it on the m6600. I didnt follow the owners lounge as much as I had the GPU upgrade thread.

 

Would you suggest an AC wifi card? I removed that N-6300 was giving me a lot of troubles with the Wifi, I changed for an Atheros with bluetooth 4

 

I am using the Ultimate-N 6300 3x3 right now, works quite well.

Only AC card I had used was the one in my AW17 but its some Broadcom 2x2 + Bluetooth

 

M4700/M6700 is required for 3rd gen CPUs. Even though they may "fit" in the socket they will not work on M4600 or M6600.
Regarding switchable graphics with AMD, that was not supported until M4800/M6800.

 

I know it won't boot lol, but after spending a couple of minutes, seems that for me is not good at all upgrade to a m6600, GPU seems rather power hungry than wise benefit and battery life, and for the price i will be able to get one i will stick at DX11, i know that DX12 is not developed at all but, for serious gaming environment i will get the cheaper GTX 1060 6GB mini and with the Xeon E3 1280 V3 and 16 GB should be enough for a while. For laptop i am thinking on get the w7170m not a big improvment but at least i can play modern games doing some adjustments.

Or get a lighter laptop with a good gpu in the future, but not with a massive screen.

 

I would like to ask about the transition to the Dell M4600 from Quad 1000 on the Ati FirePro M4000 will there be any problems with the functioning of the laptop?
