Hey creative professionals, designers, animators, engineers and research
scientists! You may have seen it on places like Engadget, but world’s most powerful 15.6” mobile workstation, the Dell
Precision M4500, has arrived! As you might recall, I blogged about the M4500 earlier this month
when we announced it at GDC in San
Francisco. Since the announcement, we have received some very positive feedback
from our customers, partners and media. Some of my favorite quotes include:
- “For those who prefer their performance in 15.6 inches, the company has
unveiled the ‘M4500’ the little brother of the M6500 though in almost every
sense its equal.” – Trusted
Reviews (UK) - “Remember the hardcore guts of the Dell M6500
workstation? The M4500 is just like that, except at 15.6-inches you’ve actually
got a shot at carrying it around in comfort. It’s also the most powerful of
workstation of its size.” – Gizmodo - “…But
taken solo, this really is a pretty amazing machine. Currently, the Precision
M4500 is the only mobile workstation equipped with Intel’sCorei7-920XM
Extreme Edition CPU and NVIDIA’s Quadro FX 1800M GPU; it’s also the first of
its kind to offer optional SSD MiniCard for a serious boost in
performance. The machine is designed for creative professionals,
designers, engineers and researchers, but honestly, even gamers could use this
on their off-hours in order to catch a raid of two in World of Warcraft.” – Hot
Hardware

powerful little machine is now available for purchase on Dell.com

report that the M4500 will soon be certified to run many of Autodesk’s new
2011 software products announced recently including
3DS
Max, Maya, Inventor, AutoCAD, Softimage
