Precision M6400 Owner's Lounge

Not even close

 

Hello,

has somebody tested the 150w AC with the M6400. I've pluged a 130w in. That was not enough.

 

Been using the 150 for 6 months - not under a real heavy load -- but have had no problems with it. I'm running the 3700, LED E2E and the quad CPU.

 

Just so you know...you should be using the 210w for the M6400...
It's the recommended PSU for it especially for those with the 3700M and the quad core.
The 150w will work fine except in cases where you're pushing the GPU/CPU hard you will start to see instability.

 

About power supply: I plugged mine into one of those meter that display power usage, and noticed that when charging the battery and running something like a game, the power supply can draw up to almost 200 watts.
My battery was down only roughly 35 percent from full at the time.

 

Still 200 watts is not bad at all...
I normally use my desktop for my gaming but decided to use the M6400 as it wouldn't be far behind in terms of graphics performance.
My ESB dropped about €50 for a month period..nothing wrong with that

 

question for who have this notebook...

how do you transport it ? bags or rucksack...

can you tell me the model ?

 

I use the XPS 1710 backpack. Fits perfectly into it with tonnes of space.

Also below thread has loads of recommendations

hi

I use the XPS 1730 bag. A lot of space and not as ugly as the XPS 1710 bag. ;-)

 

If you have 2700 and c2d then works fine also with 90W, but 3700 and quad need more, actually i use 90w with my covet qx9300, but sometimes charger LED goes off and it needs about minute to recover.

I have used my laptop about 6 month and all rubber table-contacts are gone
