Other than the above, the new Dell Precision M4500 has an optional 3 megapixel webcam, a backlit keyboard, multitouch trackpad and a multi-carrier-friendly Gobi 2.0 wireless chip.

Weighing in at 6lbs and measuring just 1.1-inches thick, Dell M4500 also gives you the option for a 9-cell battery pack that for a 7 hours and 40 minutes autonomy, or a 12-cell battery that boasts an astounding battery life.

“It is truly amazing the amount of power that has been packed into the new Dell Precision M4500 mobile workstation,” said Dr. Jon Peddie president of Jon Peddie Research, the industry’s consulting and market research firm in Tiburon, CA. “With a high resolution screen, a super powerful processor and a choice of high-performance GPUs there’s not much I can think of that you can’t do with this machine.”
