First, to anyone keeping their fingers crossed, thank you. It arrived on today’s UPS shipment!
My first impression? Nice, very nice. I like the look; very sleek. Set up was quick and easy. I’m pleased, too, to see that the screen is clear with no missing pixels as I’d heard sometimes happens. The specs:
Dell Precision M90
Intel 2 Duo Core 2GHz Processor
T7200 60GB Hardrive
2GB RAM
nVidia Quadro FX 2500M PCI Express w/ 512MB memory
CDRW/DVD
Running Windows XP Pro with SolidWorks 2007 SP0 installed.
Yes, I’m excited! So far, everything has met my expectations for this machine. I couldn’t be happier. Granted that could change once I started pounding on it but I’m optimistic. I would say, thusfar, that this machine is as quick and powerful, if not moreso, than my previous desktop. The only complaint I have is its inability to run dual external monitors. I’ve gotten used to my 21" & 19" digitals. Now I’m going to have to settle for the 21" and the 17" of the M90. Ah, such is life.
I’ll report back as I begin to take my new toy through its paces.
