"all 8 cores" sorry but this is wrong. it (the best core i7 processor available in a laptop) is actually a quad-core processor that has hyperthreading. hyperthreading allows each core to perform 2 tasks simultaneously, so to the OS, there appears to be 8 cores, but there are only 4.
I have a M6500 i7-940 coming in, very excited! 2.13-3.33 ghz, 16gb ram, 256gb ssd, nvidia 1gb 3800m
However, I chose not to get the Covet. I have a M6300 with the glossy screen, and when I do a presentation it's sometimes a bear to find a spot where my clients and I don't have glare issues. Plus paying a huge premium for the orange anodized finish and glossy screen....

bla-bla-bla-bla. ....now with new mobile workstation from dell animators.... cannot do anything because your screens on that system SUCKS. you break swet caloibrating it with no good results. Give us IPS or PVA screens!
It's nice to have Autodesk create this video but what would be more of a sale for BOTH AUTODESK AND DELL is to have Autodesk run their apps on a memory hungry process. I am curious if Autodesk 1.5 LX renders videos quickly. Not only that but does the 1.5 LX software support 64 bit. Autodesk Web Site does not tell me. I guess I'll just demo the two companies myself when I get the unit.
It Sure would be nice to have Autodesk demo the power and performance aspect of this unit on their apps. I'm not even sure Autodesk 1.5 supports 64 bit. I'm planning on buying the unit and will set up some videos on Autodesk, Premiere and Photoshop to determine the effectiveness of the m6500. I think that is what sells the product.
haha... the macbook is not for this 3d area, first Autodesk Software is mainly for Windows and secondly Apple don't need this area, they focus on Internet and Student applications ;) nice notebook Dell, but maybe a little bit too expensive
You guys are missing the point- this is not meant to be a cheap gaming laptop. It's the best professional notebook you can get, and as such it's going to be expensive. If you're a professional that uses a Precision for work, $6K is nothing. The XPS 16 gets you to 90% of the performance of the M6500.
the XPS gets you to 90% of the performance unless you are using applications that need OpenGL graphics, then the M6500 will disappear into the distance as the XPS lags woefully behind. Horses for courses. The XPS is the best gaming system, not meant for professional apps. The Dell Precision M6500 is the best professional mobile workstation on the planet without a doubt at the moment.
Its expensive if you are playing games. If its your lively hood its a bargin.
I personally use Softimage and Maya and both perform much better on Quadro then on Geforce. This machine run circles around every desktop i've put next to it.
Well, I can say I was going to go with the studio XPS 16 but then after talking to an awesome rep and telling him I work my current desktop 12+ hours 7 days a week, he strongly suggested the latitude but later I decided to look at the M6400 because of heat, but figured, ok $400 for the 6500, I decided to go for it. It arrived in 4 weeks: 12 RAM, RGB LED, 2 Solid states, and more....$4000 CAD.
There's a easy way to deal with it: buy xps studio 16' RGBLed Display, with 128 GB SSD, 8GB 1333Mhz ram and Ati 4670 1GB and I7 720. Spending more less 2300 bucks - and Gfx can be softmoded to FireGl. This will be close to 6k workstation:). Thank u for attention.
I absolutely agree. And I can't understand why the i7 is only available on this and the "Studio 17". Makes no sense to limit it to the "top of the line model" and their mid-range model. And then to act like the 6500 is just sooo much better. It's just a reluctance to bridge the gap on the graphics card. For the price it should maxed out on RAM and a SSD should be standard.
Yup, too expensive, just try to buy xps 16 with RGBLed Display, ATI 4670 gfx can be softmoded to fireGl- and I7 cpu with 8GB and 128 GB SSD makes it 2300 bucks deal that will be close to 6k DELL M6500. Thank U :) Waiting for my Dell
Its not too expensive for professionals who pay tens of thousands of dollars on the software that they runon these things. Treat this as a boys toy (gaming system) and you will always see it as expensive. View it as the professional tool it is and its great value. Nothing can touch it today.
This laptop M6500 Dell is absolut crap! The mousepointer moves randomly, you cannot use this peace of shit!
* DONT BUY IT*

Avoid buying DELL !!!
I am a disappointed user of Dell Precisions.
1. Expensive
2. Bad quality built
3. Lousy OEM software and bloatware. e.g. Synaptics driver from dell is like it didn't go thru the testing phase.
Horrible, horrible. horrible.
Should have gotten a Sony Vaio Z, HP Elitebook, or Lenovo w700.
