Dell Precision M3800
The Dell Precision M3800 ( $ 2873 , as tested ) is a high - end mobile workstation that brought a look at the future of technology to the table . You'll get a 512GB solid - state drive ( SSD ) , the fourth - generation Intel Core i7 processor , NVIDIA Quadro graphics , and a self QHD display + carbon fiber and aluminum chassis . It consists to work with ISV - certified workstation programs such as AutoCAD , activist , and Maya . If you need to determine a tremendous amount of detail in your visual , it 's quite portable workstation for you .
Design and Features
Mobile workstation used to be known as the big , bulky laptop that needed their bulk to accommodate multiple hard drives , optical drives , large cooling fans , large battery , and detailed heat piping . The M3800 manages to stuff all of the parts and thermal engineering in a thin and light chassis , measuring just 0.71 by 14.75 by 10 inches ( HWD ) . The key to this slim construction is light , yet rigid material such as a carbon fiber bottom , a screen covered by Gorilla Glass NBT , and an aluminum frame and top lid . The system weighs 4.51 pounds , which is lighter than the 7 - pound Dell Precision M4700 , Choice of past editors ' for mobile workstation .
The backlit keyboard is easy to type on , although you may need some time to get used to the vast expanse of the palm rest and around the keyboard surface . The HP zBook 15 with numeric keypad next to the keyboard , but that also means that its trackpad is off - center . The Dell trackpad is centered on the screen , which may be a consideration for delicate use . Recognized standard multitouch trackpad two finger taps and swipes quickly and accurately . The system is Windows 7 , but given the license for Windows 8 Pro , so the 10 - point touch screen would be very useful if and when your business upgrades .
The M3800 has the same 15.6 - inch screen size as the HP zBook 15 , but the former sports a higher 3,200 -by - 1 , 800 resolution zBook than 15 HP 1920 through 1080 . This means 235 pixels per inch ( ppi ) , which is less dense than the 220ppi of the latest Apple MacBook Pro 15 - inch . In fact , when we cued up many 4K Ultra High Definition ( UHD ) video , they played well and showed insane levels of detail . The consumer - grade Dell XPS 15 ( 9530 ) also showed similar levels of detail , thanks to the screen with the same size and resolution . Both Dells showed a similar weakness as well . Because the screen is so compact , user interface elements designed for laptops with screens of lower resolution will look almost minimal . For example , the menu for Photoshop CS6 and Heaven looked as though the text is in the form of 4 - point . The MacBook Pro is much better at measuring the menus and UI elements so that they are readable .
The accuracy M3800 is thinner than traditional mobile workstation because it eschews an optical drive . Connectivity includes three USB 3.0 ports , a USB 2.0 port , a Mini DisplayPort , an HDMI port , and an SD card reader . There is an adapter USB -to - Ethernet for wired connections , and 802.11ac Wi - Fi plus Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless connectivity . Both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports are colored black , so you'll have to pay attention to the icons next to the port plug to prevent a fast USB 3.0 drive to the slower USB 2.0 port . HP zBook zBook 14 and 15 both have a bottom panel easy - open , but the Precision M3800 is effective because it is sealed with an unusual head bolt closing its chassis . The Dell laptop has a trusted platform module ( TPM ) chip for security , but lacks the biometric and Smart Card option offers ZBooks HP .
The spacing within the M3800 chassis for extra hard drive to 512GB mSATA SSD increase , though 512GB is plenty of space , and there is not any bloatware worth mentioning . Both DIMM memory slots are filled up with installed 16GB DDR3L RAM . Dell bundles an 8GB USB stick that acts as the device recovery system , instead of taking up space on the SSD . That way , you can reformat the drive any way you want and still be able to get the system back to the state it out of the box . The M3800 has a one- year warranty , which is short compared to the three year warranty you get with most business laptops , including mobile workstation .
