REVIEW: Dell Precision M4600

 

The Dell Precision workstation family caters for all types of designers and engineers, from those using entry-level 2D CAD, right up to high-end simulation software. But workstation-class performance and reliability doesn't end on the desktop. Ten...

However, it’s heavy, the 9-cell (97Wh) battery is good for just 3 hours, and the optional extras mean you’ll need deep pockets. We’d also have liked a bigger trackpad. It’s worth noting that its bigger brother, the Precision M6600, offers even better...

Dell Precision M4600 review: Dell Precision M4600

 

Dell Precision M4600

The ; is a flexible and powerful mobile workstation thanks to an abundant component selection, plentiful ports and connections, and ample warranty, support, and security options.

Judging from our Dell M4600 review system, quality control is a little lacking.

If you've got the money--and a strong back--the Dell Precision M4600 is a very good mobile workstation.

Dell Precision M4600 Review: Mobile Workstation Muscle

 

The 15-inch Dell Precision M4600 goes far beyond your typical business notebook. This impressively durable powerhouse is available with just about every high-end component you can imagine ... but is it worth more than $4,000? Keep reading to find out.

Great 1080p IPS display option ; Plenty of ports ; Extreme performance

Poor battery life ; Thick and heavy ; Weak backlit keyboard ; Expensive if heavily customized ; The Dell Precision M4600 is one of the most powerful 15-inch mobile workstations available. Just be ready for high costs if you customize it.

Review Dell Precision M4600 Notebook

 

Precision tool. The current 15" workstation from Dell has been re

Robust case; Very good battery life; Very good display; Enormous selection of interfaces; Very good interface distribution; Generous configuration options; Good keyboard; Very good graphics performance; Very good system performance; Very powerful CPU;...

Unfavorable accessibility of components; Very high price; No modular shaft; Reduced graphics performance when battery powered; Loose battery; (bulky case design)

We already mentioned the Lenovo ThinkPad W520 and the Fujitsu Celsius H710 in the review. Also in this class is the HP Elitebook 8560w. Even more performance is provided by 17" workstations, which can contain more powerful professional graphics chips....

Consumer review (ciao.co.uk)

This computer is FAST

 

This is the fastest computer I have ever owned. For a laptop it is bulky, but it has the speed of a desktop which more than compensates. In addition, it has been a reliable, low maintenance machine. I have never had trouble doing anything on this...

Speed, durability

bulky, low battery life

Hardware Failure after only using for less than 2 months

 

Laptop shuts itself completely every time after 2 minutes of booting up the machine. I will get back on what might be the problem but this is very stupid.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

absolutely the best laptop ever

 

I bought this laptop for my son-in-law but after receiving it and using it for a while I was reluctant to give it away. I thought I would go ahead and give it to him which I did, thinking I would buy another one for myself but they were out of stock...

I cannot say enough good things about this laptop. This laptop is a computer in itself. I got a 7.5 and above to 7.9 in all categories of the Windows scores. This laptop look like it was brand-new off-the-shelf.

Absolutely no- cons
