How does the competition stack up to M-Tech Laptops?

 Click here to review the major brands (Dell, Alienware and HP) against the top three laptops M-Tech has to offer.
 
Processor:

  • Intel® Centrino Processor Technology
  • Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor with 1066MHz System Bus
  • Intel Mobile Quad Core and Intel® Core™2 Extreme Mobile Processor

The highest clock speed CPU is not necessarily the best choice for you. It can be a very costly mistake to assume the most expensive CPU is the fastest CPU. Please call to see if you can save hundreds of $$ just by having an analyst review your mobile technology needs. Not use to a laptop company telling you that more expensive is not better? This is just a small part  of the M-tech advantage. Call to find out how and why we want to save you money.

Core Logic:
  • Intel® PM45 Chipset + ICH9M
Memory:
  • Support Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM  DDR3 RAM Info
  • Two 204Pin SODIMM sockets
  • Expandable up to 4GB DDR3 800/1066MHz
  • 3MB/6MB On-Die L2 Cache

Dual Channel RAM is possibly the biggest single step you can take to significantly improve a computer processing potential. Each stick of RAM has a dedicated memory channel for simultaneous data transfer. This is in contrast with single channel were both sticks have to share a data channel. Dual channel gives you the effective feel of doubling your RAM speed.

Disk Storage:
  • Built-In 2.5" SATA Hard Disk Drive
  • Support SATA-150, SATA-300
  • Built-In 7-IN-1 Flash Memory Reader (MMC/RSMMC/MS/MS Pro/MS DUO/SD/Mini-SD)
  • Intel® Turbo Memory 2.0 supported

M-Tech uses drives that can double the speed of your laptop. Since a laptop is no faster than the slowest component, your laptop can't go any faster than the hard drive. The M860TU uses hard drives that are twice as fast as the industry standard. This effectively increases your laptop speed without having to spend any extra money on costly and ineffective CPU upgrades.

Optical Drive:

  • Build-in Super-Multi Drive (SATA interface), Optional Blu-Ray Burner

    * DVD±R/RW drives transfer data at variable speed

With the optional Blu-Ray player and the HDMI port on your M-Tech laptop you can turn your laptop into a portable home entertainment system. In fact M-Tech can even throw in a FREE HDMI cable. Just call to find out how to get it.

  • NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 260M w/1GB DDR3 Video Memory 950 MHz  (112 Processor Cores, Core Speed 550MHz)

    The performance of the GTX 260M is somewhat higher than with the 9800M GTX due to the higher clock speed. For current DirectX 10 games like Crysis, World in Conflict, Bioshock or Age of Conan, the performance of this graphic card is sufficient with medium and high details. Older games run fluently with high resolutions and full details. The memory equipment is up to 1024 MB GDDR3 (up to 950MHz in MXM 3.0 boards and up to 800 MHz in MXM 2.0 boards).

    An advantage of the GeForce GTX 280M is the integrated PureVideo HD video processor. It is able to help with the decoding of H.264-, VC-1-, MPEG2- and WMV9 video material in HD quality and therefore eases the CPU usage.

  • NVIDIA® GeForce™ 9800M GT with 512MB DDR3 800MHz Video Memory Graphics  (112 Processor Cores, Core Speed 500MHz)
  • 15.4" WSXGA+ (1680x1050) or WUXGA (1920x1200) with GlassView LCD Featuring Super-Wide Viewing Angles Active Matrix Display
  • PCI Express™ 16X
  • DirectX 10 Compatible
  • HDCP supported

Choosing the right video card is a vital element in making sure your laptop handles your applications properly. You can buy the most expensive video card and find your laptop is not working correctly for you. A video card is not to be thought of as "more is better". The video card is a tool and just like any other tool needs to be chosen, not based on price, but rather based on the job you are asking it to do. For example, are you a gamer or do you do CAD? These two questions can be the difference of night and day in what video card is correct for you. Do you need a expensive SLI video system or will a single top notch video card suffice? The wrong choice can mean frustration and the loss of a lot of money. Don't risk a costly mistake by choosing the video card on your own. Let M-Tech's trained analysts ask you a few questions and give you advice that will save you hundreds of $$ and peak your laptops performance at the same time. Not use to a laptop company telling you that more expensive is not better? This is just a small part  of the M-tech advantage. Call to find out how and why we want to save you money.

*Selecting the proper video resolution is like choosing the proper tool for the job. Do not be fooled by other companies that make you believe that because the screen is higher in resolution that you must getting a better image.  Unlike TV's and cameras, the higher the resolution your laptop screen is can mean the less you enjoy your images. How do you know if a WXGA, WSXGA+ or WUXGA is best for you? Just call and speak with a M-Tech analyst, they can listen to your needs and make a suggestion. Only after taking the time to teach you the difference. Knowledge is power, call M-Tech and increase your power.  Other laptops companies don't tell you this because even if they know the difference, they won't tell you the truth because other laptop companies are more concerned about commissions then making sure you don't waste your hard earned cash.
