Dell M60

[Anonymous]

Anyone tried one of these yet? I am on the virge of ordering two and i have
not yet found anyone who has tried them. What about the Eurocom offerings?
Is a Pentium M 1.7 GHz (the centrino in the M60) faster than an old Pentium
4 3 GHz (as in the Eurocom)?

Any other ideas also welcome.

M60 Specs
Quadro FX 700 GoGL 128 Mb VGA Card
Pentium M 1.7 GHz (Centrino)
60 GB 7200 rpm hard drive ATA-100 interface

Thanks,

Nick

What's a "Eurocom"? Never heard of that one.
I have read that the M1.7 GHz is fast - but it sure seems odd. I would want
to try one out before making the decision.

Dell does offer a full refund if not satisfied though - right?

As you said "yeah right". I have a feeling that the Centrino (Pentium M) is
not quite as powerful as the Pentium 4, but nearly as powerful as the
Pentium 4 mobile and a lot better at power management. As for me, I will
mostly use it plugged in at the office and at home. I don't travel much.

Look at www.eurocom.com for the specs on those.

I bought a Dell Latitude D800 with the mobile 1.7 processor. It is as far
as I can tell, similar to a P4 of higher Ghz rating. I was able to work in
top level machine assemblies without much difficulty. My reference is the
2.8 Xeon workstation I use at work, they aren't much different.

I am returning it because even for 5-6 hour weekend projects, running CAD
software on a laptop isn't practical because of the display size. Paying
$2500 for a laptop then adding a $700 monitor on top of it put me at the
same price as a P4 3.0 workstation with a FX500, which is what I bought
instead for home use because it doesn't give me a headache.

Anthony.

We run a couple of M60's here and are quite pleased with there IV
performance..

Hey Dustin, how does your M60 handle the larger assemblies?
How would you compare it to the M50 which has a faster
processor speed rating?

thanks,

Are they using the old P3 1.7ghz Itanium in that laptop? Those were great
processors

Here's a review of some Centrino laptops using the AUGI AutoCAD benchmark
test that shows the processors used in Centrino laptops substantially
outperform much faster Pentium 4s:

I use a M60 with Inventor 7.0. I use A centrino at 1,40Ghz and 512 MB ram.
I use it al the time.

It takes a HP workstation xw6000 with a 2.8GHz P4 Xeon (4880 seconds) to
beat the M60 with a 1.7GHz Centrino (4946 seconds) on with my Inventor
Workload system test.
