DELL Dell M5510 Mobile Workstation Part II: Experience - Extreme Lightness and Performance

The previous article introduced the unpacking of the DELL M5510 mobile workstation. I did not expect to have aroused strong comments from moms and gentlemen. In order to live up to the enthusiastic support of everyone, we began to code the second “experience”.

The first "out of the box" is here:

Do not know what started, the design of the anodized aluminum A surface drained the trend of notebook computers, this design does look full of sense of technology, M5510 as DELL's top series, of course, also do not use such a design. After opening the transparent protective film, the silver-gray texture on the A side is still quite strong. Although I don't want to say it, I still mention the similar feeling, which is a thick taste of MacBook Pro.

Maybe you have a doubt here? DELL XPS15 looks like it looks pretty much ah? That's right, M5510's mold and XPS are twin brothers. Their main difference is: 1. CPU, M5510 can choose stronger E3, 2. Different graphics cards, M5510 is a professional graphics card M1000M 2G, and XPS configuration is the game graphics GTX960M. 3. Screen problems, XPS screen quality control is slightly worse, users feedback is mainly reflected in the smear. 4. The mainboard design has different power wall issues. The M5510 positioning workstation does not have a power wall. In the extreme case, the dual full load does not reduce the frequency. The XPS15 has a power wall, the reason is the use of game graphics, easy to increase heat power consumption, power supply adapter is also a lack of 130W, various reasons need to limit power consumption cooling.

How do you choose the two? It is actually very simple. First of all, ask yourself two questions:

Q: Do you care about the comprehensive stability of the machine? For example, screen smear can tolerate it? A:

If you are concerned, you have to choose M5510. Workstation stability is a hard indicator. There are also system optimizations for professional software.

Q: The book buys back to play games, does not involve graphics processing? A: Of course, XPS15 is a game play, and the GTX960M's overall game performance is about 25% higher than that of the M1000M.

Turning to the back, you can see that DELL still wants to create a simple beauty, so cleverly designed in the middle of a magnetic nameplate, marked above the identity "DELL Precision 5510", after opening the main factory information, Contains "service number". "Service number" is an advantage of DELL's after-sales quick service. If the machine has a problem, just contact the customer service to provide the relevant service number.

M5510, the left interface in order: 1. Power port; 2. USB3.0 with Powershare function interface; 3. HDMI interface; 4. USB3.1 Type-C compatible lightning 3 interface; 5. 3.5mm headset hole.

The support of the Thunderbolt 3 interface also means that there is more imagination space, such as whether there is product support for the Thunderbolt external graphics card in the later period. The docking station also requires only a single wire link to enable tapping of other interfaces, including charging. With regard to the docking station and other accessories, there is a suspense here and the next issue of "Accessories" will be shared well.

The right side is: 1.kensington security keyhole; 2. Battery level indicator; 3. USB3.0 interface with Powershare function; 4.SD card reader.

The M5510 is equipped with one USB 3.0 port on the left and right, which is a total of two. For mobile workstations, there are only a few. However, due to the thinness of the body, it is estimated that the DELL engineers are not very good. SD card reader supports the highest SDXC standard, so it is more convenient to read the card after taking photos.

Keyboard with indicator light, through the Fn + F10 shortcut keys, you can switch the third gear, namely: the brightest, medium, off. When used on weekdays, it is generally switched to medium brightness, not dazzling, and the codeword is quite comfortable. You can also choose to close, that is, a little less sense of technology.

The touchpad is an integrated design, there is no obvious distinction between the left and right keys, the overall feeling of use can only be said to be quite satisfactory. If you are obsessive-compulsive disorder, the biggest problem is that each time you use it, it will leave a clear fingerprint.

When DELL designed the M5510, he also poured his own design ideas. This can be seen from the subtle light bars. Including power lights, breathing lights under the touch panel, lights on the charging line, and lights on the docking station's DP interface, all use the "|" design element.

When you close the cover and quietly place it on the table, you can feel that the M5510 is really thinner than other mobile workstations. You don't want to use one size to do specific measurement, only one photo to feel, low-key to let People don't know that it was a guy with great performance.

The National Bank's 5510-4K5 configuration screen has a resolution of 4K ultra-clear standard, which is four times that of the traditional 1080P screen. It comes from Sharp IGZO technology and supports 100% AdobeRGB color gamut. And the machine uses a narrow bezel design, so editing photos and videos is a very pleasing thing.

Select M5510, everyone has a tangled place lies in the screen, is the choice 1080P or 4K?

Here is a suggestion, if the work needs to deal with photo video, or he is a photography enthusiast, then choose 4K screen, because the resolution is high enough, dealing with ultra-high-pixel photos can deal with more easily, without scaling and scaling, so that the pixel It will be more accurate, and the sharpness will not be bleak. In addition, because the color gamut is better, the efficiency of color grading will be improved, and the quality of the final output photo will be even better. However, the color gamut of the 1080P screen is only about 70%. How to choose depends on the needs of the job industry.

Conversely, there is no high requirement for image processing. The main reason is to use financial database operations. It is sufficient to select 1080P, and software compatibility will be better.

The 5510-4K5 is equipped with an Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 processor with a Chinese name of “Xeon”, a clock speed of 2.8GHz and a maximum core frequency of 3.5GHz. It is the highest option in the configuration. The memory uses dual-channel 8G+8G DDR4 2133MHz. Since DELL is soft-masked, it does not support more stable ECC memory. The video card uses the nVidia Quadro M1000M 2G memory, which is sufficient for editing high pixel photos and 4K video rendering. The storage space uses the PM951 1T M.2 PCIe solid state from Samsung, and the 1T solid state is the highest capacity that the current M.2 specification can buy.

The above configuration is still mainstream, simply talk about the feelings of running it, enough configuration, the most intuitive embodiment is to open the software speed, import and export of large-capacity files between the switching speed is smoother. It's like playing chess, high level, thinking speed and efficiency of judgment will be more accurate and faster. Although many softwares are compatible with lower configurations, the actual operation fluency is different if you open complex large files. Especially in the operation of some graphics software, rendering speed, data conversion, computing efficiency is higher, you can have more output, use a limited time to maximize output, is to improve productivity reason.

Of course, in addition to the casual entertainment of work, many people will ask how professional graphics cards are used to play games? Here to give a reference, Street Fighter 5 resolution 1080P open, special effects set on the upper side, you can run smoothly.

Small episode:

Most of the previously mentioned are more positive images of the M5510. Now we have to talk about the troubles that the codewords have encountered so far. It is because the keyboard surface is treated with skin-like materials and it is very easy to leave fingerprints. In particular, the fingerprint left on the touch panel is particularly noticeable, and the general rag is not yet clean. So basically every day after use, use ELECOM cleaning paper to wipe it again, a bit irritated.

Next, be prepared to come up with other machines to do the PK with the M5510.

M5510 VS Alienware 15


DELL created a 15-inch thin and light on behalf of the M5510 and XPS15, also turned out a 15-inch giant killer, that is, its flagship Alienware game, everyone is familiar with the aliens.

Will the M5510 press on Alienware 15R2, depending on the kind of illusion, it is 13 inches and 15 inches in size than it?

Observed from the side, Alienware 15 seems to be twice as thick as the M5510.

When many friends choose 15 inches, there is a doubt, is to choose XPS15 or Alienware? That is entangled in light and thin, but also hope that machine game performance can be tough.

How to choose, here are a few tips to give a suggestion:

Q: Will there be any GAME on the external monitor in the home if there is a requirement on the screen? A: There is a requirement, regardless of the external monitor. What do I do with my laptop? That give up Alienware, its 1080P screen color gamut is generally yellow, it is a flawed, choose 4K screen game is not sensible at present, because the performance bottleneck for the book, or you can wait for the next generation of screen will update more Well, the newly updated 13-inch is available as an optional OLED.

Q: What game to play? A: To see the types of games that are often played, the XPS15 configuration can meet the XPS15 standard, and Alienware cannot be selected. It should be emphasized here that many people will need to play games like GTA5, but they actually buy online games like LOL on a daily basis. They don't open GTA5 games that consume 3D graphics cards several times a year. Then you buy them. There is only one goal back to AW. Do you like AW's forcing? determine? Otherwise it is more suitable for XPS15.

Q: Is the budget sufficient? A: Saying white point, that is, lacking no shortage of money, no shortage of words, no need to consider, direct comparison of two Taiwanese buy-backs, and finally it can not stand, and then out of a one on it, Ha simple.


In addition, some people will ask, AW is not heavy, will not be inconvenient to go out, tell you, as long as you like, although heavy but no problem to bring out, boys can also be used as a weight-bearing exercise under the body is not bad. He took AW to Starbucks and played the game. He kept returning to a higher score than Macbook.

M5510 VS Macbook Pro 13


Previously it was a joke that the Anodized Aluminium M5510, which looks like a Macbook Pro, is now pulled out and weighed in.

From this point of view, you can even feel a bit similar to the shell mold, M5510 color is dark gray, or called the sky gray?

Comparing the thinness of the screen, the M5510 is a bit thicker than the Macbook Pro, and is considered to be light and thin. After all, the wide color gamut 4K screen is configured.

Buy M5510 (XPS15) or Macbook Pro, I believe is also a lot of people tangled problem, the two machines represent the extreme of the two systems, especially for friends who are biased towards graphic design work, it is entangled. Because Macbook Pro is used to make maps and edit videos is also an excellent choice.

Here are a few questions for how to judge:

Q: Which system is used to be used? A: It is customary to choose M5510 for WIN, and Macbook Pro for Mac.

Q: Is it really used for graphic design or playing soy sauce? A: Professionally relying on graphic design to eat mixed meals. When choosing Macbook Pro, when they go out and find a job, they can hold on to each other.

Q: Do you like fruits? A: Like to eat, then choose Macbook Pro, it can not buy back to install WIN, and no solution.

Q: How is the budget? A: The answer I believe you already know.

Three machines come in traditional Jenga. The interesting thing is the depth of the gray, just deeper and deeper.

If you for some reason, on the mobile workstation volume and weight have retreated, then the M5510 overall weight of only 1.78kg, coupled with thin and thin figure, is a ready to stuff into the backpack, take the work out of the work of a good tool Can give you enough performance support.

Conclusion: The experience chapter will come to an end. Follow-up plans to update 3. Accessories articles. About the original machine liner, docking station and other sharing; 4. Software articles: What software can be used on the 4K screen, how to share the effect. In addition, what problems everyone has can also be put forward in the comments, and they will do their best to supplement them in the subsequent chapters.

I hope everyone can give me a lot of praise, comments, rewards and encouragement. The code word is not easy. Everyone gives impetus to the next meeting.

RJ45 port editing

1. Origin:



2. The name RJ stands for the registered jack and is the USOC (universal service ordering codes) code of bell system. USOC is a series of registered sockets and their wiring mode, which are developed by bell system to connect the user's equipment to the public network. FCC regulations control the application of this purpose. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) issued a document on behalf of the U.S. government to specify RJ11.



3. RJ11 is the common name of the connector developed by Western Electric Co. Its shape is defined as a 6-pin connecting device. Originally called wexw, where x means "active", contact or needle. For example, we6w has all six contacts, numbered from 1 to 6. The we4w interface only uses four pins, the outermost two contacts (1 and 6) are not used, and we2w only uses the middle two pins. For RJ11, the information source is contradictory. It can be a 2 or 4-core 6-pin connector. What's more confusing is that RJ11 is not only used to represent the 6-pin connector, it also refers to the 4-pin version.



4. RJ45 and RJ11: different standards, different sizes



5. Due to the different sizes of the two (RJ11 is 4 or 6-pin, RJ45 is an 8-pin connection device), it is obvious that the RJ45 plug cannot be inserted into the RJ11 socket. However, it is physically feasible (RJ11 plug is smaller than RJ45 jack), which makes people think that they should or can work together. It's not. It is strongly recommended not to use RJ11 plug for RJ45 socket.



⒍ because RJ11 is not internationally standardized, its size, insertion force, insertion angle, etc. are not in accordance with the international standard connector design requirements, so interoperability cannot be guaranteed. They even cause damage to both. Since the RJ11 plug is smaller than the RJ45 socket, the plastic parts on both sides of the plug will damage the metal pin of the inserted socket.



RJ - 45 port is our most common port, it is our common twisted pair Ethernet port



Because twisted pair is mainly used as transmission medium in Fast Ethernet, RJ-45 port can be divided into 10Base-T network RJ-45 port and 100base TX network RJ-45 port.



Among them, the RJ-45 port of 10Base-T network is usually identified as "eth" in the router, while the RJ-45 port of 100base TX network is usually marked as "10 / 100btx". This is mainly due to the fact that most products of Fast Ethernet router still adopt 10 / 100Mbps bandwidth adaptive.



The left figure shows the RJ-45 port of 10Base-T network, while the right figure shows the RJ-45 port of 10 / 100base-tx network. In fact, the two RJ-45 ports are exactly the same in terms of the port itself, but the corresponding network circuit structure in the ports is different, so they can not be connected casually.



Definition of RJ45 interface pin signal



Ethernet 10 / 100Base-T interface:



1 TX + tranceive data +



2 TX - tranceive data -



3 RX + receive data +



4 N / C not connected



5 N / C not connected



6 RX - receive data



7 n / C not connected



8 N / C not connected



Ethernet 100base-t4 interface:



1 TX_ D1 + tranceive data +



2 TX_ D1 - tranceive data



3 RX_ D2 + receive data +



4 BI_ D3 + bi directional data +



5 BI_ D3 bi directional data



6 RX_ D2 - receive data



7 BI_ D4 + bi directional data +



8 BI_ D4 bi directional data



Note: RJ45 interface adopts differential transmission mode, TX + and TX - are a pair of twisted pair, which can reduce interference when twisted together.
