Dell today added a new form factor to its family of the world's most powerful mobile workstations, the world's thinnest and lightest 15-inch true mobile workstation, the Dell Precision M3800. Merging beautiful design in an ultra-thin form factor with workstation-class performance, Dell has delivered an uncompromising system for digital content creators and engineers looking for portability, power and stylish design to match their image and environment.
Dell has a long history of delivering leading-edge performance workstations for customers in in engineering and digital content creation industries, said Jon Peddie, President, Jon Peddie Research. After seeing the new Dell Precision M3800 ultra-thin mobile workstation it's like falling in love all over again. It has everything I want in a power notebook including a super processor and GPU, high-resolution and big screen, light weight, lots of I/O, great speakers and camera. What's not to love? With the M3800, I no longer have to sacrifice performance for mobility and beautiful design.
Less than of an inch thin (18 mm) and starting at 4.15 lbs (1.88 kgs), dual-cooling to allow maximum performance at all times, and up to 10 hours and six minutes of battery life with NVIDIA Optimus technology that maximizes battery life for extended productivity, the M3800 enables editing video at a shoot, presenting CAD ideas to customers in style or rendering 3D animation and modeling on the road.
Our designers frequently travel, to meet with and collaborate with vendors and clients and the new Dell Precision M3800 provides workstation-class performance to power their software applications with an aesthetic design that fits into those collaborative environments and creates the impression we want, said Curt Spence, Client Devices Engineer, Freeman.
Outstanding Performance in an Ultra-Thin and Light Workstation
Offering powerful performance in an ultra-thin form factor, the Dell Precision M3800 is available with Windows 8.1 Pro (64-Bit) or genuine Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit) and is loaded with up to 16GB of memory, 4th generation Intel Core i7-4702HQ 8 threaded quad-core processor with up to 3.2 GHz clock speeds for seamlessly running professional software applications.
The M3800 is equipped with the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M GPU with 2GB of GDDR5 dedicated memory, offering twice as much on board video memory as the HP Z series Ultrabook , for a rich visual experience with graphic-intense software applications.
The new Dell Precision M3800 is the first and only thin and light mobile workstation to offer the power of the Kepler-based NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, the industry's highest-performing and most capable professional graphics, said Sandeep Gupte, senior director of Product Marketing for the Quadro Professional Graphics Business at NVIDIA. With 2GB of video memory in the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M GPU, the M3800 delivers uncompromised performance and rich visual experiences for graphics-heavy applications that creative professionals have been waiting for.
To manage large data files while on the go, the Dell Precision M3800 offers multiple storage configurations including up to two storage devices, with a maximum of 1.5TB of storage (HDD, SSHD, or SSD), up to 35 percent more than HP's 14-inch Z series Utlrabook , one 2.5-inch drive and one solid state Mini-Card storage device (mSATA).
As the traditional workplace continues to evolve, our workstation customers are requiring more portable systems but can't afford to sacrifice performance for their critical software applications, said Andy Rhodes, executive director of Dell Precision workstations. With the introduction of the M3800 we've not only delivered on customer requests but set a new standard for mobile workstations with the thinnest form factor, outstanding performance and highest resolution QHD+ display for designing, creating and collaborating with clients while in the office or on the road.
Tuned and optimized for the top media & entertainment, engineering and design applications such as Adobe Creative Suite, Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite and AutoCAD, Inventor and Revit, Avid Media Composer, Dassault Catia and Solidworks, PTC Creo, Siemens NX and TeamCenter, among others, the M3800 assures mission critical applications will run as designed, and comes with optional Dell ProSupport for premium 24/7 global support from expert technicians.
Beautiful Design and Visualization
The Dell Precision M3800 features a stylish, industrial-grade design with an aluminum frame, a strong, lightweight carbon fiber chassis, and a Corning Gorilla NBT Glass display with five-finger multi-touch on all systems. Viewing fine detail is easy with the workstation's vivid 15.6-inch UltraSharp display available in QHD+ , which is higher resolution than the Apple Mac Book Pro Retina, or FHD . The M3800 can also be paired with is also designed to work with the high-performance 31.5 UltraSharp 32 monitor with exceptional Ultra HD 3840x2160 resolution coming later this fall for a powerful dual-monitor workstation combination.
Simplifying the transition from the road to a desk-based workspace, the M3800 offers multiple external monitor support with the optional Dell D3000 USB 3.0 Docking Station. For customers needing access to high-speed Ethernet access, every M3800 is equipped as standard with a USB to RJ-45 dongle. It is also designed with a backlit full-size keyboard, 4 USB PowerPorts (3 USB 3.0 & 1 USB 2.0), a large gesture-enabled touchpad, HD video webcam and multimedia offerings including Waves MaxxAudio Pro suite of advanced audio enhancement tools.
We do a lot of on-location video streaming and the M3800 shaves off pounds of weight and bulk that we used to have to carry but we still have the processing power to encode multiple live HD video streams, said
