Dell M6600 - Full restoration and Upgrades ( Old but Gold )
Ғылым және технология
Hi everyone, thank you for 25:39 of your time. In this video I back in function and upgrade the Dell M6600. I brought some older computers and laptops, mostly were sold for parts only or maybe working, and this laptop is one of the pile.
The Upgrades that I make are I7 2960XM, 16GB RAM, 960GB SSD and the GPU is the same Quadro 4000M.
Games in this video: Rise of the Tomb Raider ( I have done a mistake in video I have said Shadows of the tomb raider, which actually I test for another project ), and the other games are GTA 5 and Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.
✔️Disclaimer: I Done this project for personal use only, not for sale or any other distribution now or in the future. Also, personally I do Not sell any components, other hardware or software.

Nice upgrade! I've got the successor to this model - the Precision M6700 - fully maxed out with the i7 3940XM, 32GB RAM, GTX 980M, 256GB mSATA SSD and two 1TB SSHD's. These machines have aged shockingly well and will still get you a load of performance for a veriety of workloads. Doom Eternal runs at high settings which was a genuine surprise, but I'm attributing that to the 980M's Vulkan support. The processors you can put in these machines are no slouch either, easily able to smash their way through day to day use and can play a lot of modern games on the market! Plus you get build quality that is quite simply unparalleled in modern laptops. Seriously can't reccommend the M6600/M6700/M6800 enough. Yeah they're nearly 10 years old at this point but these machines still have a lot of life in them, and thankfully, as demonstrated in this video - if you're ok with removing a LOT of screws then these machines are piss easy to maintain and upgrade!

I bought a Dell M6700 and this laptop is a beast. I got a firepro m6000 but still, i can play many recent games with some tweaks. And it only cost 200€ with 16gb ram and 2 ssd. I couldn't be happier. Just wish i could upgrade the gpu like i've seen people doing, i could buy a gtx 970m but i don't know how easy it would be to install it.

Great restoration again man. As always clean and perfect. This machine is the perfect one for daily tasks.
It's always satisfying to watch your videos, Andrew! Keep goind with the excellent job!
Appreciated it, I'm using the same machine and was thinking about making some upgrades. I found this and the other video of yours that has published in August 2020. These are really helpful to me. Thanks a lot.

Thanks Andrew for this video. More and more I learn about upgrading laptops. You are a very good teacher. Kind regards from Bogotá, Colombia
Old but gold! Love your videos Andrew!
I love these Dell Precision laptops. I have a M4800, and I love that all components are replaceable and upgradeable.
I've been dealing with computers for what feels like forever, yet watching you methodically go through and resurrect these systems feels very cathartic. By the way, would that happen to be a background from Tron: Uprising I've seen on this and a few other of your projects? :) Keep up the good work, Program. :)
Always love to give you my time Feels valuable use of 25.39 minutes of time.

That is taking refurbishing to another level!! Beautiful work.
Brilliant work. Those Dell 6600s-6700s-6800s was (and even now is) truly the masterpieces of the laptop world. I own M6700 myself and don't really want to leave it. Upgraded it with Tesla M6 few days ago, and now it's a blast.
Very good video, I love the people that repair and upgrade old computers in this case laptops, all the time that you take to clean, wash and polish it. You can really learn its about how you take another view of the value of the things, is not only replace for a new one, JUST I LOVE IT, thanks for the lesson!!!!!
Thanks Mr Andrew. I like your videos. Keep going 💪🏽
Watching the polishing process is satisfying
Im Hoping you upload more like this videos as soon as possible because i like the way you inspire people to resurrect laptops
Very satisfying video. I loved it!!
Simply amazing! I am also passionate about restoring "old" laptops. While I am not at your level, I have on my bench a Dell Precision M6800 that I am breathing a second life into.
your videos have helped me a lot with my old laptops, thank you!
I love your videos! can't stop watching
Thank you for an amazing video as always! and it's so satisfying to see that GPU being nice and shiny :D
Thank you for another awesome vid! 🥰
Absoulutely brilliant. Great job!
Finally an update from my favorite channel
Love this generation of Dell Precision. I picked up a M6800 for £70, no charger (had one already) and supposedly only 4GB RAM and no HDD. When it arrived, found that it has a i7 4940XM processor, Quadro K5100M with 8GB DDR5, a 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM! Such an underrated beast.
The Dell Precision is the top of the line mobile workstation. They came with high end components for the business environment and were also employed by content creators, artists, engineers and scientists. Very pricey!
Great video Andrew
This is really nice ... I like the way you cleaned Everything up. Well done
Had to use 1 of those for work back when they were new. A decent laptop for it's time, but MAN what a heavy beast! Lol.
I have one M6700. I love it !! - its all upgradable !! has 4 ram slot memory !! - cooling with 2 fans !!! extra HDD bay !! - one of the best Dells ever made !
Great Video! I've refurbished M6600 myself in the past but nothing this extreme. Great Job!
I still have working Dell M6500 and Dell M6700 - I did have to just replace the SSD in the Dell M6500 but it still works great as does my Dell Alienware R17 which is my daily livestream 24/7 365 day laptop for earthquake monitoring. The power bricks that come with these are massive. So I love Dell laptops at home. Thank you for sharing this as I am sure that one day my Dells will stop working.
Almost bought one of these but ended up doing some custom upgrades on my dell d620. I'd buy one of these any day.

I had mine maxed out with a T7600 cpu, ssd, 4gb of ram and an egpu. Recently modded it by replacing the motherboard with one from the D630 and a similar cpu. Next I'll be able to get a bit better cpu, the gpu got a little bit better and more importantly I'll be able to go up to 8GB of ram.

Keep utilising and restoring resorces 👍👍good job dude
I always look forward to watching your videos 😊
Ive had a few of these laptops, they are tanks!
I am so happy you are doing another m6600 video. I have one and it’s weird but it’s laggy when using the side loaded SSD for the os but when I mount an ssd under the palm rest or use a 1tb mSata it’s not laggy at all. I also have a 2gb quadro 4000 in mine but want to upgrade, but I have ran into a million and one issues most being with the bios.
Good job like always, enjoyed watching video. thumbs up.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO! IM A HUGE FAN OF YOURS! LOVE YOU!

Worked on many of these in my days, well built units.
I have the same laptop and I use 32gb of ram in it and I removed the Quadro card and replaced it with the ATI (now AMD) and saw an immediate improvement in the CAD work I use it for. Its crazy how well this laptop has held up for being 10 years old
The music is really soothing
I love your restoration videos keep it up ✌️👊👍
Great save!
man you are amazing very very nice work
A possibly unintended side of Andrew's art of restoration is that it shows how well thought out and magnificently built older Dell Precisions were. Some could be specified with good webcams, backlit keyboards and even Blu-ray DVD players/standard burners made by LiteOn. They were extensively used in the medical profession and actually still are in preference to inferior modern iterations lacking ports, cooling space and key components soldered in. GPUs at the time were prone to failure (especially Nvidia ones) but Dell used a modular system which allowed GPUs to be, relatively, simple to repair by technicians of a high standard -- like Andrew. The 17" M6600 was one of Dell's masterpiece computers, here seen being restored by a true young master.
