the M6600 is 1920x1080 (not to mention, the dell website says it's discontinued, along with the M6500 too?)I am a Design Engineer by trade, and use Solidworks all day long. I run a (now couple of year old) Dell Precision M6500 laptop (8gb Ram. Quadro FX3800 graphics etc etc), and that runs 1920x1200 with no issues. I do have an extra screen aswell but dont bother using it anymore. I just switch windows. The newer version, the m6600 is even better. Having said that both are/were significantly more than 3K I believe.
I personally wouldn't want to use a desktop machine anymore... although I can see some advantages with them, data security that Clint mentioned being one, mind you unless you are running software to stop usb attachments (as an example) its really a mute point if they have an external harddrive!, there are plenty of advantages with laptops aswell.
black touchpad?Edit: beer to anyone that can spot the difference of my MBP to others
My 6500 is def 1920*1200. I have it in front of me and just checked!the M6600 is 1920x1080 (not to mention, the dell website says it's discontinued, along with the M6500 too?)
it's minor, but the extra 120 pixels in height fits the toolbars in ArchiCAD perfectly, otherwise they all bunch up and it does slow things down a bit having to scroll through each of the toolbars.
and a beer for you !black touchpad?
i dont doubt you! having had a few dell's before, that was the first place i looked, but alas they dropped it for the 1920x1080 m6600 when i was looking.My 6500 is def 1920*1200. I have it in front of me and just checked!
The new one is actually the m6700 sorry! but you are right that is 1920*1080
Strange that they dropped it...
SSDcool! I'd be interested to know how the raid setup goes. I've started a fresh so i don't have enough material clogging my system at the moment, but will do soon. How fast is read write between SSD and r10?
Do the 4k tests, they are FAR more important. A SSD should be ~60x better than the mechanical drive at 4k speeds.. Not sure about raid0..SSD
RAID
re did it and you're right... SSD was about 35-40x faster in 4k than the raid10 array. raid10 is is a bit slower than raid0 as it obviously has to mirror everything too.Do the 4k tests, they are FAR more important. A SSD should be ~60x better than the mechanical drive at 4k speeds.. Not sure about raid0..
