Precision 7670

If you're going for a Precision, try for either a 5530/5540 or a 7730 through 7780. Those models are generally good - hotheaded, but not prone to any glaring failures. The other Precision models like the 5550, 5560, 5570 7550, 7560, 7670 & 7680 should be avoided in my experience due to either defect

I have a sneaking suspicion that Dell's is pulling more of its "CID" BS. I've had several Precision 7670/7680 model machines (with accidental coverage no less) get rejected by dell at my own shop (I work at an authorized repair center) due to claims of "Customer Induced Damage" (CID) simply because

I have a 7670 for work. A super common issue with them is the fans failing and they start making tons of noise. Everyone at work has had it happen to them and dell replaces our fans while they’re still under warranty.

Yes, you are entitled to your own opinion. However your opinion lacks nuance/context and you present it as if it is absolute fact - that is the problem. I've worked on or owned models from across every consumer and business line that Dell, Lenovo or HP makes and long enough to pick up on trends in t

Some things to check. Storage space. Heat vents & cooling fan(s). Had a Dell Precision 7670 that overheated and froze then BSOD. Decided to clean the laptop by taking off the bottom cover and blowing out the cooling fans. Was surprised to find a down feather in one of the fans. Change the thermal pa

what I do know is that the Dell warranty is great and they will replace your laptop without needing to make a fuss for 1 year Dell's warranty service has gone down the tubes (along with their quality control). Like Asus, Dell has now started claiming "Customer Induced Damage" (CID) to worm their way

Company uses Dell precision mine a 7670 i think with the 12th gen i9 32GB RAM and 1.5 TB ssds Runs hot as heck especially when using a VM on battery but otherwise perfumes well. Oh and the battery lasts about an hour lol.

I have a Dell Precision 7670, it's not small but it's also not overly bulky, and most importantly it's quiet even in the office. Previously I had an ASUS that sounded like a jet engine even at idle. Regarding the Apple M chips, your VM software will need to emulate the x86-64 instruction set which d

I had previous version of Precision 7670 it was just garbage overheating and BOSD I hope Dell fixed it in this model

Sounds about right. For example, the fan control is borked on the Precision 7670. If one fan fails, the system doesn't register it and continues to run at full throttle. This leads to thermal damage over time that Dell has repeatedly tried to avoid covering via claims of "customer induced damage".
