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.

    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.

    Love these older Dell Workstation laptops. They were tanks but they worked great. I got 2 m4700s my job was going to throw away. Kept one and gave the other to my brother. Now I'm thinking about dusting it off and seeing what I can upgrade on it.
