I've had my Dell Precision M6300 for about 2 years now I think. It's CPU, a 2.8ghz Intel X900 Core 2 Duo was the most powerful process dell offered on this laptop at the time. It's still pretty damn powerful for a laptop I think :) This CPU was like a $1000 upgrade on top of the standard price of the laptop.
The WUXGA screen (true HD) with its 1920x1200 resolution was a pricey upgrade too, 2 years ago. And I also had them throw in a nice video card while I was at it, an nVideo Quadro FX 1600M with 512MB of memory. Just in case I wanted to do some gaming. It came with Windows XP but I upgraded to Windows 7 late last year. This was 2 years ago. Before the budget cuts hit ;) I'm glad I had them get me something powerful because if I'd half-assed it I'd still be stuck with it for a couple more years, like it or not. As it is, I like it. As much as I like any laptop (I have a strong preference for a regular keyboard and my 24" monitor), and the laptop isn't particularly light and portable :) Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:324399 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
