Like Deckard in Blade Runner; I am in love with a machine and I just don’t care!

It was love at first sight when I unpacked the top spec Dell Precision 7720 last week. Cupid’s bow twanged and his poison arrow thudded deep into the meat of my heart, I was a gonna. She was over £7k of laptop and I was a drooling geek, palms sweaty at the prospect of an Intel Xeon E3–1535M v6 server processor, Nvidia Quadro P5000 and a Samsung SM961 M.2 SSD. My shaking hands slowly peeled off her cardboard clothes, plugged her straight into the mains and turned myself on 😉 So how was it? Well, it was sweet while it lasted but she soon left me and drove away with the same cheeky UPS driver!

Check out the Specs below:

  • Windows 10 Professional (x64)
  • 17.3″ UHD IPS Narrow Border (3840×2160) Wide View with Web Camera and Mic
  • Intel Xeon E3–1545M v5 (Quad Core Xeon 2.90GHz, 3.80GHz Turbo, 8MB 45W, w/Iris Pro Graphics P580)
  • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD Class 40 MPWS
  • 64GB, 4x16GB, 2400MHz DDR4 Non-ECC SDRAM
  • NVIDIA Quadro P5000 w/16GB GDDR5 + Onboard Intel(R) HD Graphics P630
  • Palm Rest with touch fingerprint reader, smart card and NFC
  • 6 Cell (91 Whr) Long Life…
