2gb 667mhz ram
100gb 7200rpm hd
512meg quadro 2500m video
wireless
1900x1200 17in screen
winxp pro

all these benchmarks are on the machine stock/unmodified no windows tweaking at all , with whatever crap dell has got running from bootup. these are the results on the 1st and only run

3dmark 2001
27652 mark

3dmark 2003
18113 mark
cpu 1004

3dmark 2005
8549 mark

cpu 9759
total=89848

sisoft pro personal 2007.5.10.98
dhrystone 14745 mips
whetstone 10872 mflops

counterstrike source video stress test @ 1900x1200,model detail-high, texture detail-high, shader-high,water-reflect all,shadow-high,color correction on,antialising-2x,filtering mode 4x, vertical sync disbaled, HDR-full
=85.60fps

all above settings but 1680x1050
=102.5fps

super pi 1.4mod
1M = 28.484s
2M = 1m 12.172s
4M = 2m 44.641s
8M = 5m 37.750s
16m = 12m 34.172s
32m = 27m 34.078s

bloody awesome !

screen: some light leakage at the bottum

build quality: top notch ,sturdier than my 8600

keyboard:feels the same as the 8600

battery:havent tested fully yet

wireless: 54g with wep =transfer rate about 38% via a netgear dg834g router to desktop

weight: obviously heavier than the 8600 but not too bad to lug around so far

overall very happy with the machine, but is there a colour calibration software for the laptop screen cos side by side with my dell 2405fpw, it looks a bit off ???

Very nice benchmarks.

I hate you by the way.

Looks great.

What price did you pick it up for? Did you use the recent $350 off pricing? Compared to the latitudes the pricing on the precisions hasn't moved much since their release a few months ago.

ballfire99 · 8th July 2006, 1:34 AM

paid a lot . i had not seen any discount on the precision systems whilst i looked the past few mths unfortunately.

Tekin · 8th July 2006, 8:35 AM

hell. thats alright at stock!

i know the answers are going to be "bloody" and "useless" respectively, but how much does it weigh (particuarly with the 17' screen!) and what kind of battery life do you get out of it?

i mean, with those specs, it's got to be pushing 4-5kgs...and i'm assuming sub 1 hour battery life!

ballfire99 · 8th July 2006, 10:11 AM

i dont have any scales accurate enough but dell lists it as 3.9kg. the power adaptor is a brick tho, prob another 1kg

battery life surprisingly isnt too bad. the other day i watched a movie with full brightness and no wifi, with 56k modem on and got down to 25% after 2hr of movie. so i am assuming if i turned the brightness way down i'll prob get >3

from what i have seen of other reviews on the net u can get 3.5hr out of it with min brightness and surfing wifi which is not bad at all.

thats not bad, though i'd question the viability of running it at minimum brightness in anything bar a completely dark room!

i'm assuming once cranked up in 3d mode it's chewing like gurner though?

what's gaming like on it? particularly the keyboard layout. I found on the dell 9400's, i just couldn't quite get used to the slightly smaller keys, particuarly the lack of resistance.

when i play games on it i hook it thru a kvm so i use my normal desktop keyboard and mouse and dell 24in .
not used the dell kb to play games yet

Nice super-pi score and pretty impressive 3Dmark scores considering it's a workstation card. (Someone correct me otherwise)
