Precise performance and predictability are the traits of a quality product

May 27, 2010 - PRLog -- The Dell development Team designed the Dell Precision M6400 for users who run engineering, design or animation programs.  This mobile workstation is an attractive choice, for those who demands more than just an average user.  It's very fast, and the best part is that you won't be shackled to your desk and will be able to use the same machine either at home or in the office.  It has a high-definition 17in screen, roomy for your fingers to rest comfortably on  its keys area (for long hours typing), and a button on the battery term as "fuel gauge". It illuminates a level indicator with five dots; the more dots displayed, the more life the battery has left. The battery is one of those undervalue component, especially on this machine since it is so  blazingly fast.   What is off the mark by the Dell Team is to outfit this machine with a standard battery that will last over 2hr 13min. Most engineers would say, if you are crunching data for a design, programming or animation, a 4+ hours is the norm. So, after purchasing this machine, I quickly ditched the original battery and bought an extended capacity 7800mAh battery.  I kept the original battery as backup. Most online seller have this size capacity. I came across http://www.brilliantstore.com/  which carries a large selection of extended capacity batteries for different brands and models.  If they carry such a hugh  inventory, they should know a bit more about extended capacity batteries. Look them up online.
