That's a very capable CADD workstation if you don't mind adding 32gb ram for ~$100. Great find but I don't need one now. Just last week ordered 2 lenovo P53 for work.

These things are built like tanks, super upgradeable, good thermals, but bear in mind they are pretty bulky and heavy for a modern laptop.

Laptop is just shy of 6 pounds, charger is just over 1 pound. Personally I don't carry the charger around with me unless traveling as my workplace uses Dell laptops so I have spares there and just keep the original at home.

It's a bit of a chonky unit but thermals are excellent and big expandability if you're just looking for raw performance. I don't mind having a heavier laptop but I also have a lightweight 13" ultrabook for when i just need browsing and media which is usually what I take when I travel.

Also the HDD is literally e-waste when you get it, easy to swap drives so please toss it the moment you get it lol.

Upgrade ram and hard disk yourself, don't take Dell's inflated prices.

Anyone have any opinions on the Warranty & Services? Going for ProSupport Plus - as it covers spills, drops, etc. - looks to be worth the effort. Thoughts?

The graphic designers of a company I somewhat mange always buy Alienware laptops and more recent, Surfaces w/ a GPU. (~2200 + 3year warranty). Now, there are two tiers. Photo & Video Graphic Designers but should I encourage them to use Precisions? What I don't want is to spend almost $3000 on a computer and have to replace it after 2-3 years.

TBH, I am surprised that their gaming GPU's are meeting their needs. Only Quadros support 10-bit color in OpenGL, which is what Photoshop uses.
