Dell Precision M6500 Is The 'Most Powerful Mobile Workstation'

Dell Releases New Notebook Workstation, Packs Quad-Core Processor

With all the excitement surrounding smartphones, MIDs, tablets and netbooks, it’s good to see some buzz surrounding an honest-to-goodness dreadnaught of a notebook computer. Dell is claiming that their new Precision M6500 is ‘the most powerful mobile workstation ever’ and it might be, considering the thing is packing an Intel Core i7 quad-core processor.

Along with the Core i7 quad-core CPU, the Precision M6500 comes with 2GB of DDR3 (expandable to 16GB), a 160GB drive, a 17″ display and an ATI FirePro graphics card with 1GB of VRAM (you can opt for a NVIDIA Quadro card, as well). The OS of choice is Windows 7 Pro, and Dell, being who they are, is offering a Windows XP Pro ‘downgrade’. Haven’t they heard, the tech blog crowd likes Windows 7 more than Vista.

I don’t think the notebook is that bad looking either, as some of Dell’s Enterprise offerings have looked, well, boring. No comment on battery life, but even with a 9-cell battery, this thing probably should be plugged in all the time.

The special Orange model (shown above) is being sold in limited numbers and will set you back $4,219. The regular model will cost only $2,749. You can order yours here. Considering Dell and Apple’s historic rivalry, I fully expect the next generation of MacBook Pros to sport an eight-core Core i9 processor.
