If you've been waiting patiently on
Dell's monster of a laptop, the 17-inch, Santa Rosa-based behemoth known as the
Precision M6300, feel free to get really excited. Very soon, all of you business boys and girls will be able to get your hands on the company's new enterprise-centric laptop (a follow up to the
M90), that rocks a Core 2 Duo X7900 CPU (2.8GHz with an 800MHz FSB), Nvidia's Quadro FX 1600M graphics chipset, up to 4GB of RAM, and a 120GB or 200GB hard drive. Dell also plans to make a SanDisk 32GB SSD available for the road-ready laptop, and is offering a DVD, DVD-RW, or Blu-ray writable optical drive. Of course, the M6300 has all the regular bells and whistles, like 802.11a/g/n, Bluetooth 2.0, DVI, Firewire, plus a not-so-usual optional
AT&T HSDPA card. You can also choose between XP, Vista, or RedHat Linux for the OS. No word on price of availability, though it appears these will be landing sometime this month.

black inspiron
i need a smart phone =-)
Dear God, please help this guy.
Amen. :-)
i saw it early on the dell's page... but after a while, they erase the link :(
No number pad?
wack
Another disappointment!
Does it burn as nicely as the: http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/04/the-fun-never-ends-another-dell-up-in-flames ???
And will it play Doom? ;-)
a "workstation" laptop with multimedia keys. YEAH!
Normally, I'd say that a notebook shouldn't get a built-in number pad, but if it's got a Quadro chip, then I'd assume that number entry may be a significant consideration.
I don't think number pads make sense on notebooks because it puts the user or the user's hands off center for most typing.
It would be nice if they actually shipped laptops instead of just advertising them.
Buy a mac, this this is going to be crap
The Sager NP9260 (aka Clevo d900c) still can out perform this series. Honestly, I've not seen graphics cards make as much difference on a laptop as HDD access. I would also expect a "mobile workstation" to support RAID which the aging Inspiron (which this is) does not.
Apple has no mobile workstation. The MBP would be out of its league here.
Why o why does it need to be so ugly. It is as if only big and ugly things can be powerful. The same goes for the new king of the hill XPS notebook that was on this site earlier...
Totally crazy...
I was able to build one here:

My build won't ship until Sept 25th. YMMV.
Another generic laptop. When is Dell going to make something cool?
cool dell ive always wanted a laptop i did once but it fell because it was the acer brand
It's not so bad ^^
I have it, and the only issue is that the hard drive can't keep up with the processor... Gotta wait until solid state hard drives come down in price...
