Any Dell M20 owners out there?

If yes..... how are you liking it so far?

 

I've always had excellent service from Dells, and the M20 is Fine. It
works really well with swks (as it has a full openGl graphics card) -
with 2Gb memory it gets same performance as M70 in all aspects except
very intense graphics. ... The 64 MB ATi® MobilityT FireGLT V3100
PCI-Express is not quite as good as the M70's 256 MB nVidia® QuadroTM
FX Go1400 PCI-Express ..... even so the m20 spins all my assemblies
without any jerks .. so wouldn't worry.

(This MCAD review helped me choose)...

with the M70 ... see also for comparison how they did against
desktops.. ( I wont get another desktop ;-)
(search 'M20' here.. http://www.mcadonline.com/index.php )

I got the SXGA+ 1400x1050 display which is good, but for most of the
time i drive an external 1600x1200 monitor .. which is fine. I find the
lack of video ram shows only when running 2 displays together - if swks
is in one - it slows when the other display is used.
I like the size and weight compared to the bigger & heavier M70, but if
i didn't travel I'd get the M70, (or an Alienware).. for 2 monitor
abilities. (NB both M20 & M70 need the docking station to get DVi video
output).

 

I agree with all of the above

Ok thanks

I'm looking at the M20 cause its comes in 14 "
size.....and the M70 is only in 15.4"size

Will I be sorry if I get the smaller more compact M20
in regards to its smaller screen size? is the M70
screen size really needed with solids modeler apps?
