Yesterday I received my new laptop, the Dell Precision M6500 (see review on AnandTech ).
Too happy, shoot me some its features:
- Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-820QM Processor (Quad Core 8M Cache, 1.73GHz - 3.06GHz)
- Memory: 16GB ( 4x4GB) 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
- HDD: 1TB - 2 x 500GB 7200RPM SATA RAID 0 (Data Striping)
- Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro FX 2800M Video Card
- Monitor: 17 "UltraSharp WUXGA LED Display (1920x1200) Resolution
- Operating System: Genuine Windows (R) 7 Enterprise 64bit (Français)
First impressions: despite its size it remains relatively thin and compact. The design is amazing, and gives an impression of solidity (aluminum hull brush stiffness satisfying the standards business). After several days of use, I am very happy: ultra stable, ultra fast, we never feel limited by the hardware!
architecture I7 is top wig, with its Quad Core with Hyper Threading and Turbo Boost is available up to 8 aa in simultaneous threads (which appear in the Task Manager) and a speed of 1.73GHz which fits was 3.06GHz. This laptop is also the only one I know has to have 4 slots memory (16GB of onboard memory now) and have a RAID controller (parameter here in RAID 0 for performance).
The screen is definitely the best I've ever seen on a laptop: LED technology allows a uniform distribution of light, which is very pleasant. The icing on the cake, the graphics card, although type Quadro (declination of the Geforce GTX Pro 280M with 1GB of memory, with drivers more oriented CAD) and enough to run Crysis at 1920x1200 so as smooth!
Windows 7 Enterprise is super stable and I was surprised to see that there is no problem of availability of drivers 64-bit, 64 bit has really become mainstream!
What will I do with all that power: use as a portable mini-server replication facilities SAS solutions on multi-tier multiple simultaneous VMWare and GRID (Compute Third, Metadata Third, Mid-Tier, Data Third). Compute Third Third and Metadata are exclusively for SAS components. Mid-Tiers include JBoss, Websphere, Weblogic, Tomcat. Third Party Data will be dedicated to Oracle, Teradata, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Firebird ... all with a mix of Windows, Linux and Solaris.
Oh, I forgot, and of course this toy was offered by my box! If AC is not
The Ultimate geek's toy!?
