CAMM modules are not widely available yet, so expect to pay a premium to upgrade the memory (Dell charges $250 for a 16GB module [dell.com], and there don't seem to be any on Amazon).

And since this is a Precision model, it's heavy (6 lbs). Presumably most people who are familiar with the line aren't surprised by this.

few things are holding me back from ordering this,
1. CAMM Upgrading it will cost some coins
2. Small HD
3. Last Gen CPU, and only an i5
4. only 4G of VRAM
5. FHD screen
6. HEAVY,
For $100 less I elected the ROG X14. with 780m graphic.

Not sure if it will handle Solidworks. But I am not buying it for gaming and its much more portable for class. 2X the HD, 16 Gig of Ram (Non upgradable and its not DDR6) If I need more GPU power, I can always go with the eGPU route.

And the X13 CPU is a Ryzen 9 7940 HS (Current version) which will run circles around the 2 Gen Old Intel i5.

The X13 is very portable being (1/2 the weight to this) and have great battery life to handle class work, even can do a little gamming when I need a break.

Above all; the X13 is a 2 in 1 which has a touch screen and support stylus. I can draw directly on the screen (a must for graphic design workflow) This Dell does not.

I don't care about size, once had an Alienware 18.

I am though also looking for mobile solutions that have Windows 7 Ultimate support.

The Precision 7000 series is a high end mobile workstation meant to be a desktop replacement. The build quality is top of the line and it includes a 3yr warranty. It's not going to be a great option if you need something lightweight or for gaming. This configuration is almost the most basic offered by dell but has dedicated graphics and a backlit keyboard. The storage is easily upgradable since it has a door on the bottom accessible by removing one screw. There is even a second (and possibly third depending on if this is the regular or slim model) NVMe SSD slot when you remove the entire backplate. The screen is bright and color accurate and the keyboard & trackpad are better than most other Slickdeals. I wish the WiFi was upgradable since 7 is coming but that's definitely not a dealbreaker.

This is a very accurate and helpful comment. Not a lot of people are aware of this lineup or its potential.
Thank you.

I ordered this exact model from Woot a month ago. It is the slim base and does not have the access door for the primary NVMe slot. Removing the baseplate to upgrade the storage or memory is still relatively easy (6 or 8 screws). This model has the larger battery to support the discrete GPU, so the 3rd NVMe slot is blocked. I wouldn't worry about CAMM memory upgrades as Dell sells a $17 adapter that allows up to 64GB of DDR5 SODIMM to be used. This model also does not have a fingerprint sensor.

The MSRP listed from woot is greatly inflated. This config should MSRP at $940.

I recently got the Precision 7670 - but with the i7 64GB of RAM, A2000 GPU and the UHD+ OLED on eBay for $1400 (new in box, but no warranty)

The build quality is indeed out of this world. Solid as a rock without being excessively heavy.

I've heard that Dell sells the SODIMM adapter/conversion kit for about $30

The i7 is a huge bump over the i5, as is the OLED display over the 1080p - but the upgrades quickly stack up the price!

This should be a really great deal for power users who don't mind 1080p or are willing to swap the CAMM interposer for the SODIMM one

Please note the caveats about the memory:

These are Dell proprietary CAMM, the ratified standard CAMM2 will not fit

There is a chance the CAMM to SODIMM adapter will not work. Apparently there are very subtle motherboard design differences on native CAMM vs CAMM to SODIMM adapter from the factory

I would imagine the SODIMM adapter might not work in the "thin chassis" which this Woot unit would be (i5 w/ A1000 GPU/no dGPU indicates it per the spec sheet)

Performance chassis is thicker. Folks online say the A3000 is the tier that pushes it into the thicker chassis, and yet my i7/A2000 has 64GB across two SODIMMs

I'm not sure if it's officially supported by Dell, but at least one user has confirmed they are using the SODIMM interposer on the thin chassis without issue. See the Reddit thread for more info.

2 things to note about the Precisions: the HX will get heat throttled faster than a newer 13th gen i7. Second: the XPS is almost the same internally but without the Precision certs.

No notes on the price— but really note the thermal throttling curve and understand that you cannot sustain high CPU usage forever at HX speeds.

I have a dell precision for work. It's a heavier duty laptop than your normal consumer laptops. That being said, it cost more than my Alienware and is less robust and less powerful.
