Dell Precision M90 Purchasing Help

Hello everyone,

My name is miro and this is my first time posting on this forum. I have been reading this forum for the past 6 months lurking like a predator waiting to strike and buy the perfect laptop for myself.

I have come accross the dell m90 a part of the precision series. Basically I want a computer for heavy sound recording, video editing and after effects type work as well as a little 3DSMAX. 90 percent of the time its going to be all sound recording and basic office tasks.

Just wondering if anyone out there has any experience with this model from dell or if anyone has advice on a similair notebook. My company has a purchase program with dell and i like the 3 year styandard warranty this book comes with.

certain selling points are the video card "NVIDIA Quadro® FX 2500M 512MB", up to 4gb of ram.

One concern of mine if weather i can replace the core duo chip in there with a core 2 duo later down the road.

Any comments or advice or ridicule is appreciated.
thanks everyone.

Thanx for replying.

I checked out the executioner, looks encredible.
I like the hard drive suggestion. I am mainly going to be doing proccessing such as polaying back 20 tracks of audio whilr recording 6 more, i use a firewire audio interface for all the I/O, anyway the doubloe hard drives seems like a good idea, although it does add to the wieght. My questions that i have for you and your computers are

1. can you get the executioner with a flash hard drive ? dont see it in the options ?

2. what type of warranties and assurance can a guy living in canada get from purchasing one of your systems?

your comps look killer man, and id love to support the little guy instead of going to dell or hp or alienware/voodoo, naturally i have my concerns. I'll keep checking out the site for more details.

thanx.

hey killernotebooks

ive been comparing your executioner to other laptops out there with the
7900GTX video card, i must say your prices look pretty competitive. Im actually very suprised your company can compare price wise with the big shots.

A few more questions if i may

1. tell me a little about your company, how many people working, where are you who builds the laptops?

2. Optical drive upgrade, if i go with the 2nd hardrive enclosure + dvd player does that mean i could put in a second drive (FLASH RAM POSSIBLY) down the road ?

3. who designs the notebooks ?

Im curious about the type of motherboard being used and how it compares to other solutions being offered at the moment.

I know im throwing a lot of stuff at you but im really starting to consider the executioner as my up and comming laptop purchase, the idea of adding a second drive down the road is good.

one more thing, i do audio recording, do you think using the older and faster ram that you recommend would effect audio recording bandwidth ? i know its kinda technical question. Im wondering if ram types would have big impact on how much audio i can record and playback at once.... hmmm

thanx man

Hi KN

I dont seem to have gotten any emails from you, Im not sure where youi sent it to. I have modified my Profile to include my email address at the botytom of my posts.

If you could re-send that would be much appreciated.

Thanx

I agree with Kugin

Ive been researching and looking into a laptop for months now ever so patiently waiting.KN's Executioner has all the stuff the so called fastest gaming notebook around has "dellXPS1710" with a more modest price tag.

I am excited about about the possibility of buying a laptop without some smelly logo on it and to be able to get it from someone that seems to have a genuine interest in computing rather than a giant corporation.

however, Ive never purchased a notebook online and I am super paranoid so the more info the better.
