      I ordered the new Precision M6300 and I've been waiting for it.
      Does anyone use this machine? What are your experiences? What do you think about it?

      Here are the specs:
      Santa Rosa T7700 (2.4 GHz)
      Nvidia Quadro FX 1600M (512 MB sheared)
      3 GB Ram
      120 GB HD 7200 rpm
      17' display 1440x900


      The new precision from dell

        I had to choose between this machine and a similar spec HP compag 8710w which is the direct competitor to your machine. In the end the Dell shipment was delayed, my time ran out and I went with the Compaq. Depending on what you used before you can expect a screamer. I am very impressed with the Quadro FX 1600 card (apart from one or two niggles) and it takes everything I can throw at it.

        Enjoy your new machine!

          I am typing right now on my Dell M90.

          Dell M90
          4gb ram
          160gb drive
          nvidia quadro fx2500

          All I can say is you will be nothing but happy with this purchase. The M6300 replaces the M90 but if it is anything like mine it is a real desktop replacement. The only downfall is the weight. It is not something I want to carry around everyday (but do). It renders really quick and the 17" screen makes if fairly painless to work with sketchup or any other design programs.

            Thank you all for your replies

            To Scottpara:
            Very impressive machine! What is the CPU, a Core 2 Duo t7600?
            I know that in the rolling stock of mobile workstations is still your M90 the best machine actually! I was looking for a M6300 with Core 2 Extreme t7900 processor because it seems that sketchup works expecially on CPU side, but when I knew the price of that configuration (over 2300 euro, which I know is not too high according to the market, but definitely too high for my budget) I decided to go for a t7700 which is about 600 € less expensive.
