Dell’s Precision M3800 Workstation, the world’s thinnest and lightest 15-inch mobile workstation for video editors, graphic designers and other high-end users, has been enhanced with several new features. The M3800 was designed specifically to provide the performance, reliability and ISV-certifications necessary to run demanding video and film editing applications on a mobile workstation. Its flagship product now includes a 4K Ultra HD touch display option, introducing Thunderbolt 2 technology and offering an Ubuntu-based developer edition, among other updates.
The 4K Ultra HD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution and IGZO2 technology on its 15.6-inch UltraSharp touch display is made with Corning Gorilla Glass NBT and delivers “rich, saturated colour and stunning brightness, enabling customers to view their content in even greater detail than was possible before.” With more than 8 million pixels, the 4K Ultra HD screen option is the highest resolution panel available on a 15-inch mobile workstation today. The M3800 also features ten-finger multi-touch, providing customers with an intuitive way to interact with the workstation.
Dell is also adding a Thunderbolt 2 port so users can take advantage of transfer speeds up to 20 GBPS, enabling viewing and editing of raw 4K video, while backing up the same file in parallel. Intel’s Thunderbolt 2 technology delivers “the fastest, most versatile connection, simultaneously supporting high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a single, compact port.” Dell has also added additional storage options and increased total available internal storage up to 2 TB.
The M3800 has a starting weight of 4.15 lbs. and a form factor less than 0.71 inches thick. It includes a 4th-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, professional grade NVIDIA Quadro K1100M graphics and up to 16 GB of memory.
