DELL MOBILE WORKSTATION PROVIDES PERFORMANCE AND PORTABILITY Dell Also Adds New Thin-and-Light System to Its Precision Workstation Lineup
Dell? today added two mobile systems to the world’s top-selling line of workstations 1, including the high-performance Dell Precision? M70, a system powerful enough for the most design-intensive projects and mobile enough to go wherever the job requires.
Dell’s expanded mobile workstation line also now includes the Dell Precision M20, starting at 2.21kg 2, that allows customers to reliably run workstation applications for such tasks as design review, demonstration and training.
Powered by Intel?’s Pentium? M processors and 915PM chipset, the Dell Precision M70 and M20 integrate advances in mobile computing that help increase processor and graphics performance. The M70 includes a new, powerful 256MB graphics solution that allows customers to manipulate large, complex visual models in sharp detail.
“Customers will appreciate the freedom provided by new technologies in the Dell Precision M70 and M20 to un-tether from their desktop without compromising the power to handle advanced technical applications,” said Mr. Anothai Wettayakorn, Country Manager, Dell Corporation (Thailand) Co., Ltd. “We’ve tailored these best-in-class workstation solutions for customers who require the mobility to visit job sites, work from home or travel frequently.”
The M70 and M20 include DDR2, the next generation of memory architecture, and PCI-Express (PCIe). DDR2 optimizes the notebook architecture by matching the increased performance demands of processors, I/O subsystems and graphics cards with higher-performance memory. PCIe is a new, industry-standard bus architecture for more powerful graphics and faster connections to peripherals like hard drives and DVD/CD burners. The new technologies give customers more power to run high-end workstation applications, such as video editing, 3D design or CAD models, virtually anywhere.
Exceptional Performance, Notebook Mobility
The Dell Precision M70, starting at 3.035 kg 3, allows customers to easily carry the power of a typical desktop workstation. Professionals can create, design and analyze large, complex 3D models and datasets in the field, on the road or at the office. Additionally, Dell has updated the M70 design by decreasing its weight and dimensions and adding a unique LCD cover that distinctly identifies the system as a Dell Precision. It features the NVIDIA? Quadro? FX Go1400 256MB PCIe graphics card and 15.4-inch wide-aspect UltraSharp? high resolution display.
Exceptional Mobility, Workstation Performance
The new Dell Precision M20 marks an expansion to Dell’s mobile workstation line and delivers the mobility of a mainstream notebook. The system, starting at 2.21 kg 2, includes Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certifications and OpenGL graphics that assure customers their applications will run with accurate visual detail.
Worry-Free Operation
Dell has an extensive list of ISV certifications from key providers of CAD, CAE, DCC, GIS and other applications. Customers can be assured that their business-critical applications will run on Dell Precision workstations. In the event of any issues, the Dell certification team engages the application vendor to ensure a quick resolution. Dell Precision customers also receive dedicated support from experts versed in workstation technologies and applications.
