Dell Precision M3800 (2015)
The new iteration of the Dell Precision M3800 ($ 2,227.99 as tested) is a mobile workstation designed for serious architecture, graphics, activities of scientific, and engineering. It is equipped with a powerful Intel Core i7 processor and an ISV-certified Quadro Nvidia GPU K1100M, but that's not all. A high 4K resolution screen and a port Thunderbolt 2 is improvement over last year Dell Precision M3800. It is a competent mobile workstation, and a good choice if you need a lot of screen real estate in a thin and light laptop.

Design and Features
The Precision M3800 is thin for a mobile workstation. At 0.71 by 14.75 by 10 inches (HWD), it has the same size last year's model. The system weighs 4.15 pounds, which is lighter than the 17-inch Dell Precision M2800 and lighter and smaller than the Lenovo ThinkPad W540, Our Choice mobile workstation editor. The system is made of premium materials, including carbon fiber at the bottom of the panel.

The 15.6-inch indium gallium oxide (IGZO) display is protected by edge-to-edge Corning Gorilla Glass NBT, and the 10-point touch screen is responsive. Ultra-High-Definition display (3840-by-2160) resolution lets you see more than you can in 1080p screen resolution of full HD. It also provides more on-screen real estate than the display 2880-by-1800-resolution Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch Retina Display (2014) $ 1,224.00 and gocpgcom, or the 3k (2880-by-1620) Lenovo W540 screen.

You can view a video in a window 1080p HD native resolution of the display, and you'll still have your email and IM windows, all running simultaneously. The wide screen is also a boon if you look at architecture plans, scientific readouts, humungous spreadsheet, or multiple streams 1080p HD video for your job. The quality is excellent, with smooth gradients and solid colors. Lacks the built-in color calibration tool that Lenovo W540, and the Toshiba Satellite P50T-BST2N01 any, that may be a necessity if you need a matching color for print media or broadcast video systems.

Connectivity is excellent. Noble has a port security, an SD card reader, a USB 2.0 port, and a USB 3.0 port on the right side of the system. Note that the same USB port has the same color, so you're going to have to look closely at the labels to see which is the faster USB 3.0 ports. On the left, the system has a headset jack, an HDMI port, a Thunderbolt port 2, and a second USB 3.0 port. All three USB ports have the ability to sleep-and-charge. A USB-to-Ethernet adapter is included for wired network connections on your computer, which is not convenient, but Dell will make a concession to keep thin profile of the system. Thunder 2 port will work as a mini DisplayPort, but its greatest asset is that you can share data and peripherals hard drive with Mac and Windows workstations in your organization by thunder 2 port. For wireless connectivity, the system has 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0.

Internal access is not good, however. Like the MacBook Pro, Precision M3800 uses a non-standard screw heads to close the bottom lid, effectively making it impossible for you to upgrade the memory, swap out storage, or even change the battery . Your IT pros should have access to the internals after purchasing the right tools, but you're probably better off using the in-home / Onsite Service after Remote Diagnosis Dell. The system comes with one-year warranty, which is short for high-end business systems.

The backlit keyboard is comfortable to use, even without the numeric keypad. The wide touchpad is centered on the space bar, and is as responsive as the touch screen. The system comes with Windows 8.1 Pro pre-installed, with a USB stick instead of a recovery partition on the 256GB solid-state drive (SSD). You can downgrade to Windows 7 Professional in both Microsoft license if your business is not standardized on Windows 8.1. The 16GB of system memory is plenty for large data sets and multi-gigabyte RAW graphics file.
