Precision 5680

My partner recently got a Dell 16" Precision 5680 and it's a seriously impressive machine. Build quality is at least as good as a modern MacBook Pro and performance is very impressive. She does 3d modeling and animation. I'm far from an expert on laptops so I don't really have specific recommendatio

I've had really good luck with Dell Inspiron and Precision laptops. I use an Inspiron 15 for multi track field recording (film and TV work mostly, but some music) and my fiancee has a Precision 5680 for 3d modeling and motion graphics. Both are great machines and I'd gladly take the Precision over a

I recently just bought a Dell Precision 5680… I haven’t been experiencing the Dell Command update crashes as you’ve mentioned. Though, I have no doubt you’ve been having a bad experience with their products. Their QC has noticeably gone down. Do you guys have any Dell Precision laptops that you work

I've been running a Dell Precision 5680 workstation for the past couple years. 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, zero issues. Since the Pro Max is the successor to the Precision series, I'd imagine they will be awesome as well, but who knows.

Given the motherboard replacement and clean Windows install (assuming you mean r

I have been using Dell Pro Max 14 and Dell Pro Max 16 which are basically the successor of Precision 5000 series.. Anything Pro Max 14/16 Plus is Precision 7000 series successor. Pro Max 14/16 Premium is successor of Dell XPS Now coming back to the performance of Pro Max. I love both of them. They a

hmm as I said, I had several Dell, all working well. Currently on a Precision 5680 model. Previously I had XPS and Inspiron... Everything always worked well out of the box. I had some old Thinkpad too (don't remember the model as it was years ago): no problem with that too. The only one that I had s

Well that laptop seems like a very good one. So if it's in your price range and you like it - could go for it. Definitely need windows. Otherwise you'll probably need to use a Windows emulator due to compatibility issues... Just save yourself the trouble and do windows. If anything I would say that

HP ZBook Studio G10 = lighter, upgradable RAM, has DisplayPort, excellent thermals. Dell Precision 5680 = sturdier build, stronger speaker/display, but soldered RAM and no DisplayPort. So...it depends what you care about
