Dell is having a very busy day! On top of announced new Latitude laptops for businesses, Dell also announced some new Precision mobile workstations.
While many of us thought Dell would have new machines at NAB, they made us wait a little longer to announce their new Precision workstations.
Kicking things off is the Precision 7730, and it is their powerhouse flagship of the bunch. It has a 17.3-inch display that can be configured between a 1600×900 and a 3840×2160 (4K UHD) resolution. That’s all powered by either AMD Radeon Pro or Nvidia Quadro graphics, the former (AMD) of which can come with up to a WX 7100 with 8GB GDDR5. The Quadro graphics can be configured with a P5200 with 16GB GDDR5.
Processor options range from a Core i5-8300H to a Core i9-8950HK. The Core i5 is quad-core, but if you go with the i7 or the i9, you’ll get six cores, which is a lot of power. Moreover, the Core i9 is even unlocked for overclocking.
Plus you can pack it with up to 64GB DDR4 2400MHz or 32GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM memory. That alone is a reason to switch from the 16 GB max Mac laptop to a machine that can handle your CAD, videos and/or design needs.
The Dell Precision 7530 sports a 15.6-inch screen which can be 1080p or 4K resolution. Going with a small screen does not mean giving up CPU you power, you can order this with up to a Core i9-8950HK processor. Graphics are either an AMD Radeon Pro WX 4150 with 4GB GDDR5, or up to Nvidia Quadro P3200 with 6GB GDDR5.
Next on the list of new machines is the Precision 5530. While not as powerfuls at the 7XXX series, you can order this one as a convertible. It still comes with up to a Core i9 and a 15.6-inch 4K display, but graphics only go up to an Nvidia Quadro P2000 with 4GB GDDR5. On the ram front you it maxes out at 32GB RAM – which is still double what Apple offers.
Finally, the Dell Precision 3530 has a 15.6-inch display that can only be configured up to 1080p, and it comes with up to a hexa-core Core i7. Graphics can be configured up to an Nvidia Quadro P600 with 4GB GDDR5.
The Dell Precision 5530 2-in-1 will be available in July or August, while the rest of the models announced today are coming on May 22.
The Precision 3530 starts at $1,049. the 5530 at $1,449, while the 7530 is $1,189 in its most basic configuration, with the Precision 7730 starting at $1,509.
