i used to daily a m4800 with the dual core i5, used it for the longest time, up until 2-3 years ago, when i bought a used xps 9510, but not too long ago, i found a better specced out m4800 (i7 4810mq, 1080p), and bought it for less than the cost of the 4810mq itself. still using that alongside my xps. love coding on it ngl.
Still a good machine as long your aren’t doing anything crazy. You could upgrade the CPU to a 4940mx but for the amount of money you’d have to spend I doubt it would be worth it.
They're definitely showing their age at this point but these machines still have some pretty decent uses and are good collectibles if you can find them for cheap.
@@ColinSlater33 my family in Mexico still uses this laptop that I gave to them in 2015 for facebook and old school runescape I made sure to give them the SSD and 16gb before sending it to them still a great value for low income families
M4700 M6700 M4800 M6800 age like finewine. Im still regularly working on these for friend and customer and i still know people here still making money on them as work laptop and some entertainment too.
I agree. They're past the point of being able to play modern games and complete intense tasks, but their wide array of ports and high build quality makes them a pretty good option for day-to-day tasks and any legacy software.
@ColinSlater33 True. Pretty much most game right around 2018 and back can play on all of these if the laptop was maxed out soo m2200 mxm on 15in and 1080 mxm on 17in I think. Also ptm7950 and some undervolt goes a long way on these, the same applies all the way to 7750
the 17 inch variants definitely can handle the upgrades better. Better thermals to handle the CPU/GPU and more options for MXM upgrades. A maxed out M6800 is a still a very capable machine, however the opportunity cost of upgrading a 6800 to a 1080 and 4940mx is pretty high when you consider the fact that the money spent could put a pretty big dent in the amount needed to purchase a much more powerful modern laptop. Definitely something fun to do but probably not the best option for most people.

Lol I had one of these 10 years ago!

haswell and ivy bridge have the exact same IMC so they both support ddr3l up to 2133
only thing good luck finding ddr3l 2133 , kingston made it and corsair did to but it is hard to find so 1866 is the best way to go
@@amdintelxsniperxVery good to know. Wasn’t even aware 2133Mhz DDR3L existed. Will have to look into it.
No webcam in this laptop?
Most configurations I have seen since one, but not this one. Same with the keyboard backlight.

@@ColinSlater33 Yeah true. Still love them though. Most of the upgrade i did here just for people that REALLY REALLY like it.
