D810: quieter than 9300 or D600?

I dont own a D810, but heres what I know:
D810 probably runs hotter than 9300 but,
D810 will probably be quieter.

We have a D810 and I own an M70 (same thing but a bit hotter). Both the D810 and M70 are very quite. Much quieter than the D600.

dell m70 is quiter than the d810 as it has a thicker chasis allowing it to heat up more. My firned has the d810 and his fan is just a tad louder than mine but then again mine is undervolted.

Question on D810/M70 Fan Sounds, how does the sound of the GPU Fan compare to that of the CPU Fan?

I too own the D810 and it's one of the quietest laptops out there... Even the OEM HDD that came with it doesn't make any noises.

The 9300 isnt loud at all, no different from the D810. Ive used both and have the 9300, not sure where you get that the 9300 is loud? No owner of the 9300 has ever said this. You must have superhuman hearing

I cant imagine why anyone would pack up a 9300 for a D810, the d810 has lousy video card, perhaps your harddrive is noisy? a 7200 drive maybe?
If your going to shell out that kind of cash for the D810, I would go with the M70 instead as it does at least have a decen video card.

Hold on here, so you're telling me that my D810 with 128MB X600 is lousy? I really don't think it's the worst video card out there... I've seen some of your thread posts... you need to keep some of your opinons to yourself.

Btw, my friend owns the 9300, it is mildly louder than the D810. My friend and I placed both notebooks side by side and you can hear small difference in loudness but it's not too drastic. Cutters does have a point with the 7200RPM drive... it can be loud as the rotation on the drive can cause more noise.

Aw let him rant, provides insight

Forums are not for keeping ones opinions to ones self. Compared to the 9300's 6800 go card, the x600 doesnt look soo good, it isnt the worst video card out there, its the second worst, the first would be that ati x300 card.
Im picturing you and your friend right now holding your laptops up to your ears to see how much noise they make and its making me giggle. Im sure im not the only one scratching my head on that one.......turning in a 9300 for the d810 and you want to game? <scratch scratch> The 9300 is too noisy? < scratch, scratch>. Maybe you got a defective machine or perhaps listening to it after some gaming?? I dunno but to each his own.
Dont get me wrong, the D810 is just fine for the middle aged corporate type for business use. But it wasnt designed for mainstream home use/multimedia, it still has many legacy ports.

Inspiron/Latitude=Apple/Orange

No mention of Gaming on any of WirelessAndy's posts. For what I see that he said, I would expect that the D810 x600 would suit him better than any Inspiron, if Gaming were high on his list as a secondary use, then the M70 would do a better job at that, while still remaining on the Latitude side of design.
Opinions should be heard, 'flames' and personal attacks should not.

Ever since the first Inspiron replaced the Latitude LM, Dell has been very clear on the differential properties of the lines.

My choice of the 'LM' ("Multimedia System") over the only other Dell, the 'XPi' ("Network designed") had been that the XPi still used the TrackBall that I had hated so much on the IBM and the LM had that cutting-edge TouchPad that I grew to love.

Most Dell users need to strike the balance and have one portable that best covers their priorities and for some of us, the Latitude fills the bill.

Computer gaming for me (since I got bored with 'Pong' and was too old to like 'Pac-Man') has been limited to 'playing' FlightSafety's Aircraft Simulators. Now THERE is a purpose designed, one game computer that fills several rooms and needs a Tech on site to keep it tuned, but What'a-Ride it can offer. Difficult to keep a mind-set to enjoy it, since every flight is guaranteed to be full of horrific scenarios to deal with, but it is SO Important to practice that art.

That being said, I come here to Get Opinions and there is no other group of folks that approach the general computing knowledge and expertise of the 'Gamers'

I have to agree with you on coming here to get opinions as there's alot to be learned here especially if you are getting your first lappy. Whether wireless andy was getting a system for gaming or not I overlooked but unless you are using a latitude in the corporate world, the extra money and less performance on the graphics side doesnt make sense with the D810.
Gamers do have alot of useful tips however I would temper that advice with a knowledge of their age as often extreme gamers are out to overclock,undervolt, pinmod and fan tweak to the brink of frying their systems in the name of a little extra performance.
