Mobile Workstation Brute on Steroids

If you do engineering design, analysis or create digital content you need a brute of a workstation.  And with more of us going mobile, that brute needs to go with you in a laptop form.  We've offered the Dell Precision M6300 for some time now, but based on feedback from customers we just stepped performance up to a new level.  You asked for performance that is more like blunt force trauma than mere brute force.

The announcement today of the release of the refreshed Dell Precision M6300 mobile workstation takes performance to a whole new level through the addition of several "first ever" features.  It has all the functionality you would expect in a high-end, ultra-high performance notebook, but with some additions that we hope will rock your world.

It is the first mobile workstation in the universe to offer the 32GB and 64GB ultra performance solid state drives that Sarah blogged about, so you can get up to 35% faster read/write performance than traditional 5400RPM hard drives and 22% faster than 7200RPM hard drives.  It also uses the new Intel 45 nanometer Penryn processors and the Intel Extreme Edition Core 2 Duo X9000 (2.80GHz) 6MB L2 Cache.  We have doubled the dedicated graphics memory by incorporating the nVidia Quadro FX 3600M with 512MB dedicated graphics -- the fastest mobile professional graphics card offered by nVidia.  It is also the first Dell notebook to offer 8GB total system memory 2 x 4GB DIMMs so you can work with even larger data sets.

So let's review:  faster performance, monster hard drive, fastest nVidia graphics card, and huge memory.  We think this is more than a brute.  So if you carry your workstation around and need ultra-high-end performance, check this out.  And as always, we're looking for your input and ideas to make the brute even...well "brutier."  So comment below, on IdeaStorm, or on the Dell Community Forum, and reference the Precision M6300 Refresh.

Any chance of Dell updating the "Help me choose" segments of the configurator?  I would think that when they update pricing and specs they would remember to do the help sections as well.  I was looking for a good comparison between the drives but the SSD are not even on the list.

Bruter ? How about RAID 0, 3 SSD disks and another processor, or a quad core ?

Any benchmarks on the new SSD performance?

The lower price on the 32GB model versus the regular one is really nice. Hope the 64GB will follow.

 

How about some new chassis for this one? I know it was common between the XPS and Inspirion line back in the days, but those already saw the introduction of new models and the Precision stays the same.

The main point would be to make dual drive machines available like on on other 17" Dell models. Having one SSD drive for performance and one regular HDD for storage would be really good - two SSD in raid for performance even better!

When will the 4GB SO-DIMMS be available?

Awesome.   Now how about giving us some real graphics in the M4300 so we can take that power with us and not have to visit the chiropractor?

Any idea when/if Dell will start offering Quad Core processors in laptops?  The Latitude line specifically?

When will the X9000 processor be available in the configurator? 

Michael said:

The x9000 is available.  However, it is not clear if you can overclock it.  If you cannot overclock the processor then why pay an extra $1000 for it?

Dave W said:

According this post, you can't overclock the X9000 on the M6300:
