What others are saying about the Dell Precision M4400

“Pros: The RGB screen is awesome but I have had a few times when it becomes very dim. Both times it has corrected itself. I love the backlit keyboard. I mostly use the laptop for Photoshop so I loaded it with the fastest processor and ram – it is very smooth and fast.

Cons: It gets warm. I also have an annoying problem when typing. I haven’t figured out why but when I’m typing the cursor jumps to a different location. I’m not sure if the touch pad is extra sensitive or if I’m bumping the center track ball.

Review: Overall I’m happy with the laptop. I also own the M6400 Covet. I actually like this laptop better because of it’s size. If you are looking for a desktop alternative this is your machine. You can take it with you and it will do anything you need it to do."   –dell.com user
