What others are saying about the Dell Precision M2400

“Pros: Rugged and sleek. Nice display. Pretty good webcam and works well with WebEx. I like the pointing stick and touchpad with three mouse buttons. So far has good battery life.

Cons: Loud hard-drive. Slow video performance and sound quality is extremely poor. I also have a problem with the sound drivers crashing. I recommend removing the Dell’s connection controlpoint and trusted drive management software as I’ve had issues with those application as well.

Review: For a Precision Workstation laptop, I was hoping for more and better quality. Some of these issues will probably be fixed with patches but my first impression of this laptop hasn’t been great."   –dell.com user
