Precision M4600 Owners Lounge

Nope, just 1920x1080.

I have 9-cell battery.

 

dosent seem that sucky to me, the M4400 got pretty similar battery life. its just the W520 from lenovo has really outstanding battery life and everyone is comparing it to that.

there isnt any way to turn off the firepro is there?

 

Right, it is sucky compared to what I had hoped. Early on, we all heard about how the Sandy Bridge was going to be better on power compared to the last generation. Well, not in the M4600.

I think that it is established that the FirePro cannot be bypassed.

 

i dont think the issue is sandy bridge, if the firepro could by bypassed i reckon we'd be getting 5 hours. that thing is 45w i think. is the intel graphics on the processor disabled or something? or is it sucking power as well?

at least its an improvement over the M4500's horrible 2.5-3hr battery life.

 

Is there any way to enable battery slice support. My battery slice from a previous system connects without an issue, but the system does not recognize it as a battery.

 

The slice has been confirmed by Mano_G to not work in the M4600.

 

I'm sorry I lost track. What slice?

 

there used to be a slice battery for the M4400, basically a big battery that connects through the docking station port and attachment points. it can fit onto the connector on the m4600 but the notebook will not recognise it

with this battery the M4400 could get 20 hours battery life

 

afhstingray,
Thanks.

 

Hi, I noticed there was a control panel to switch the colors from NTSC, RGB etc, having the IPS. I changed out my HD to SSD and installed all software and I can't seem to find it. I could put back in the old one to find out. Can anyone help? Thanks

I noticed the screen seemed a little red and was hoping to get rid of it by using another color profile in this ctrl panel.
