I'm debating over either a latitude e series 6500 or a precision m 4400.
Basically, I'm just wondering if anyone is using any of these two computers. either a latitude e series or dell precision series?
 
You wouldn't happen to be attending NJIT in the fall would you?

I am and got myself an E6500 through their partnership program with dell. What are you looking to do with it? That should depend on what you get. The precisions are better for graphic demanding tasks and the latitude is better for more basic oriented tasks, though if you get a graphics card in it (I got the Quadro 160M in mine) it'll do more. I can game pretty good with it.

bascially on both... I have everything maxed out... the cpu... the ram... and I'm getting a solid state drive. so yeah.

I'm just wondering if anyone's had problems.... like frequent over heating and stuff, or broken hinges that kinda crap.

Nah. I guessed since those are two models NJIT has through the Dell partnership. So your gonna be taking online classes then?

They're both commercial grade machines so the overheating and broken hinges will be almost non-existent. I mean my machine gets hot, but not overly hot that it shuts down. As long as the vent slits are uncovered it's fine.

Nah, I'm gonna be starting in the fall. I'm gonna be dorming there. But, I want a good computer, that'll last me beyond college.
 
The company I work for we get our clients new notebooks every three years.
We just started the latest tech refresh, we are replacing D620s and D630s w/
Lat E4300 and E6400. We just received the first 100 or so. I have already had the chance to take one appart....it had a bad track pad. Had to dissasemble the whole unit....seems really well built. We opted for the regular LCD and Hard drive...can get a solid state sata hard drive and better display.

That's good. I'm looking for a well built computer. I guess it'll come down to how much my bill for college is gonna be after scholarships and financial aid (hopefully). lol

I would have to say that the price offset is not worth it.

Plus the Quad will shorten battery life a bit.

Yeah, you think so? Basically to go from the dual core 2.93 to the quad core 2.53 is 500 exactly.

btw I heard somewhere that the... well lemme find it first...

"NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB [Included in Price]
NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700M, 512MB [add $299]"

I heard that the 1700 is just an overclocked version of the 770. And I also heard that you can just get the 770 an easily overclock it to 1700. Any idea?
