The 6400 starts at $1000 more than the 4400. The 6400 has some pretty compelling features, but it will definitely lighten your wallet. I'd say this thing sets the standard and extinguishes the debate between Dell/MacBookPro. ]]>Sep 24th 2008 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/Sep 25th 2008 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/
This looks unique, sleek, and powerful. The metal wrapped around a plastic center look makes it look awesome.

As for this thing... /droooooooool. Although that base price probably won't get you much of a machine. Mine was about $3800 before all the 'instant savings' they gave me, and that's with a 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of RAM, the 3600M, and a 120 gig HD. Oh, and the gorgeous display and the 3 year accident plan.

was just asking him and he said its a prototype
said it'd be out soon
haha didnt expect it out the next day
it was also beastly fast
running huuuge simulations with millions of particles on XSI Ice
definitely the laptop for VFX people on the go]]>Sep 24th 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/so maybe that option is coming soon?
although from what i heard.. 70% of quardro equipped laptops are used by the oil and gas industry
hence the dull designs of yesteryears
this new design looks pretty awesome for a solid mobile workstation

it was also running a lot cooler than a macbook pro or a consumer hp laptop we had lying around
the only drawback was the GIGANTIC charger .. same as the one from the massive xps model
i was told that would be changed for the production model]]>Sep 24th 2008 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/Nov 7th 2008 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/Sep 24th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/Sep 24th 2008 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/dells-17-inch-precision-m6400-powerhouse-breaks-loose/
But yeah you're right; I don't think there's an actual Gamut named just RGB.

more powerful
