I just installed a fresh copy of SL6 on a brand new Precision M4800
this morning.

The laptops that ship from Dell preloaded with Windows have hybrid
graphics enabled by default in the BIOS. I disabled this when I saw
some issues with Nouveau and sleep/hibernate. Ubuntu is probably okay
with this setting left on via support through Bumblebee.

Everything seems to work minus a slight DPI issue I had with the
proprietary Nvidia driver which was easily correctable. Only the web
cam doesn't seem to work.
