Dell Precision 5520: Mr. Barton George of Dell today announced the availability for pre-orders of the second portable workstation in the Precision series that comes with Ubuntu Linux.
So the new Dell Precision 5520 laptop workstation is available for pre-orders, and you can choose to take it with a pre-loaded LTS version of the Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) operating system. The Dell Precision 5520 is Dell's second portable workstation powered by Canonical Ubuntu OS. The first was Dell Precision 3520.
Η company αναφέρει στη σελίδα του προϊόντος ότι το Dell Precision 5520 είναι το λεπτότερο, ελαφρύτερο και μικρότερο (15,6 ιντσών) φορητό workstation στον κόσμο που διαθέτει επεξεργαστές Intel Core ή Intel Xeon 7ης γενιάς και μια οθόνη PremierColor 4K InfinityEdge που έρχεται σε παραλλαγές UltraSharp Full HD (1920×1080) ή UltraSharp Ultra HD (3840×2160).
The first thing you should know about this new Dell workstation is that it is fully customizable.
When accessing the Dell Online Store to pre-order the device, you must select "Customize & Purchase" on the right side of the screen. There, you can select all the features of your new device.
For example, the Dell Precision 5520 may have an Intel Core i5-7300HQ processor (2.50GHz quad core or 3.50GHz Turbo and Intel HD Graphics 630), or an Intel Core i7-7820HQ (2.90GHz quad core, 3.90GHz Turbo , 8MB 45W, with Intel HD Graphics 630).
For 322 dollars in addition you can have a V6 Intel Core Xeon E3-1505M (Quad Core Xeon 3.00GHz, 4.00GHz Turbo, 8MB 45W, with Intel HD Graphics 630). This particular laptop supports up to 32GB DDR4 SDRAM and runs at 2400MHz. You can also add a Nvidia Quadro M1200 graphics card with 4GB GDDR5 for 70 dollars.
For the screen there are only two options, listed above. Both offer wide view, anti-glare, LED-backlit with Dell's Premium Display Warranty, but the Ultra HD also has a touch screen.
Ο φορητός υπολογιστής διαθέτει είτε μια κάρτα Dell Wireless 1820 για 802.11ac Dual-Band Wi-Fi και Bluetooth 4.2 or an Intel Wi-Fi 8265 card for 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.2. It has Thunderbolt 3, two USB 3.0 and one HDMI port, along with a memory card reader, a headphone jack and a power adapter port.
The price includes a 3-cell lithium-ion battery (56Wh), but you can also choose an 6-cell battery (97Wh) for the same price. Both options come with ExpressCharge support and an 130 Watt AC adapter (4.5mm barrel).
To remove 101.50 dollars from the original value, there is also a choice to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) instead of Windows 10 (default). Dell Precision 5520 is now available for pre-orders around the world and will be released in 11-14 business days.
The best price you can pay for a new Dell Precision 5520 seems to be US$1,297.50, but you might be better off waiting until the new more powerful models come out on February 28th in the US, namely the Dell Precision 7520 and Dell Precision 7720 or Dell Precision 5720 all-in-one PC on April 6.
