    i dont use cad/cam/rendering software, i use my precision for business purposes but i also use it for gaming (its my own company so my 'business' laptop is also my personal laptop) which is why i like the fact they have the cheaper but equally good in gaming firepros as an option. now, all i have to do is resist the urge to buy several monitors so i can play around with eyefinity....

    Does anyone know if the Display Panels are different in quality, because a dell rep. told me that the Samsung Panel should be the best one. I got a LG Panel, hence I wanted to know if my Panel is less good as the Samsung one.

    in my experience, unless there is a major issue with one of the displays in quality control. the difference is negligible

    For pure sound quality from the in-built loudspeakers my old DELL XPS16 is way in front in this department.

    IMO it is a pity DELL could not have used the same audio hardware in the M4600. This is one area I was not overly excited about.

    @out of maelstrom

    Hehe,

    that would be a good thing ;). My worries concerned the possibility that certain games might not work with the firepro due to driver problems. If the card behaves like its gaming counterpart, everything will be fine!

    @ afhstingray

    Thx for your answering!

    greetings

    Great review!

    Has anyone come to a conclusion about the 2.5 hr battery life? There's no hope of it being any longer?
