Just the technical data suffices to attract performance-oriented users.
So, numerous configurations are possible, some for users with focus on performance and some for those with high demand on capacity.Įven if we were only allowed to look at the Dell Precision M6500 so far, we were quite impressed. How is this possible? Up to two standard hard drives or two SSDs and an additional SSD-Mini-Card are supported. According to them Raid 0/1 and Raid 5 is supported. E.g., two GB modules are already quite affordable and 2 times 4 GB gives 8 GB, and is much cheaper than two 4 GB modules.īut, Dell also thought about mass storage options. However, you might even profit from four slots in little. In general this is true, but users with such a memory demand might still not be put off. "Unaffordable", some might think straight away. The Dell Precision M6500 has a total of four memory slots, each of them can be occupied by a 4 GB module giving a maximum RAM capacity of 16 GB, whereas you can choose between 1066, 1333, and 1600 MHz modules. In addition to CPU and GPU, the core components, two further parts contribute to the system performance: RAM and mass storage. An example would be for example Photoshop CS4, which can already profit from powerful graphic cards. Both graphic cards support OpenCL, Nvidia with 128 Cuda-Cores and ATI with 640 steam cores and can so support the CPU in special tasks. As usual details will be covered by a comprehensive test.ĭell waivers on a switchable graphics solution, according to Dell, because graphics cards are more and more used for not graphic related tasks and calculations.
Dell m6500 support software#
Some software runs more efficient with ATI hardware while others perform better with Nvidia GPUs. According to Dell differences depend on the application. Models with ATI graphics show probably due to a lack of alternatives, nothing new: As before, only the FirePro M7740 with one GB GDDR5 memory (128-bit) is available.
g., lists the Quadro FX 2800M and the 3800M, which are both equipped with one GB GDDR3 memory (256-bit). Regarding graphics the M6500 offers new and well-known. Details about the new Intel Core i7 family are available in our special review. As alternatives also its colleagues of the i7-series, the 720QM and the 820QM are available. That is a chip of the extreme edition which allows enthusiasts with technical understanding some modifications in order to further raise the already unrivaled high performance. In order to satisfy the demand for more and more power, Dell equipped the M6500 with today's most powerful mobile CPU: an Intel Core i7 920-XM. Like many other business notebooks also the M6500 has a sensor for adaptive brightness adjustment.Ī stable and elegant alu-case is nice, however, most customers will only be interested in one aspect: pure performance. In consideration of graphic users pre-defined and free-configurable color profiles are available in order to avoid a regular calibration of the display. The highlight is the representable color space, which should cover 100% of the Adobe RGB color space according to Dell. Expect of a standard ultra-sharp display, also a RGB-LED screen and a RGB-LED screen in 'edge-to-edge' design will be offered. So, what's inside the display in detail? Regardless of the model chosen a LED backlight. "Fortunately", most of the potential customers might now think.
WUXGA also hints on another characteristic of the M6500: Against the trend to 16:9 full-HD displays, it offers a 16:10 aspect ratio. So, Dell offers three different display models in WUXGA resolution and only one WXGA+ screen with a resolution of 1440x900 pixel as alternative. The Precision M6500 is particularly designed for CAD and CAM users, who need a big desktop. Here we have to mention a smartcard reader and a “ contactless smart card reader”, implemented as optical marked area on the right palm rest area, a FIPS-certified fingerprint reader or a standard fingerprint reader, TPM 1.2 and WPA/WPA2/VPN compatible WLAN hardware. Besides the physical security of the robust case it also integrates a number of additional features.
Dell m6500 support full#
According to Dell it can handle up to two external 30-inch displays connected via display port (one directly at the case, the other via docking station) at full resolution (2560x1600 pixel).Ī notebook for professionals also focuses on security.
g., lists some port replicators, notebook stands, and hardware.Ī highlight of the Precision M6500 is that it also supports displays with an extremely high resolution. Furthermore, it is possible to reuse accessories bought for the M6400 as they are the same size. And again a modular drive slot allows to either insert an optical drive or a second hard drive. There are still a total of 4 USB ports, one of them a combined eSATA/USB interface, a 6-pin Firewire 1394 interface, a digital display port, VGA-out and an RJ-45 LAN interface. Also the connectivity has not changed much.
