DisplayBlog Review: Dell Precision M4400

I go through a quick review of Dell's Precision M4400. It boots in both Vista 64-bit and XP 64-bit in about 1 minute thanks to the fast 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 7200RPM HDD. The externals are quite nice: the chassis is quite solid, there are a lot of ports and best of all the 15.4" matte LCD sports a 1920 x 1200 pixel format and has two CCFLs that make it very bright.

Thanks magma80! After reviewing the M4400, I decided to sell it on eBay. The reason was that it was very heavy and the performance under Windows Vista x64 wasn't very impressive. So now I'm on a MacBook. :-)

nice review. Please share your day-to-day exp of using it. How does it rate compared to your prev notebooks?

When I was using it the M4400 felt rock-solid but it was very heavy. The extra-capacity battery sticks out in the back. The LCD was very nice: matte and 1920 x 1200 on a 15.4-inch. Brightness was great since this model used two CCFLs. The best option would be to get the RGB LED backlight model. The keyboard was pretty good but I didn't like the trackpad that much, especially the three-button layout. For some reason I felt Windows wasn't responding as quickly as a 2.8GHz C2D w/4GB machine should.

Vostro is the cheapest business brand of Dell laptops!

This classic design is better than the typical bullshit latchless designs you see with entertainment notebooks.

This laptop is super durable. I spilled milk on it, exposed it to sunlight, gently slammed it on the floor, and it's still fully functioning with all diagnostic reporting no errors!

Dell makes hideous laptops and this is a prime example.

it's the noisiest laptop that I have had ever. I have had 2 Dell Latitude and one macbook pro 17". I don't recommend this laptop

Cool so that's where all the hot air goes out

Just don't understand why it's so expensive, compared to Vostro.
