Dell Precision M3800 - 2013!

Quadro K1100M GPU is confirmed by NVIDIA's Official Facebook Page.
Waiting for the full specs and price to make my final judgment.

 

If Dell had offered a Crystal Well i7-4x50HQ with integrated Iris Pro 5200 graphics + eCache and no dGPU at a similar or lower cost to the K1100M option, would anyone have gone for that?
I don't know what applications the Iris Pro 5200 is certified for nor used one, but if the performance is even close at a savings of 30 to 35 watts...why not?
And the i7-4850HQ lists for only $85 more than the i7-4702MQ while having just slightly better clock speeds.
I doubt NVidia is selling the 2GB K1100M kit to Dell for less than $85 unless they are giving an initial discount for the publicity to launch a MBP competitor.

I hope the M4800 / M6800 go with the FCBGA1364 socket...

 

Then, there would be no point to calling this a Precision, it would be a Latitude.

 

Dell "Precision" is not hardware specific

From Dell's own Precision documentation:
"Dell Precision workstations offer a wide selection of graphics cards, many of which are Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certified. Solutions from AMD, Intel® and NVIDIA can satisfy requirements ranging from breakneck 3D performance and OpenGL to affordable 2D performance. Dell continually evaluates the newest graphics technologies to help ensure the most relevant graphics cards are selected for qualification, certification and factory installation in Dell Precision workstations."

Dell can ISV certify and hardware validate anything they want to 'Precision' status

 

The GPU is really so bad than that? So I would go for the Asus Zenbbok Infinity with Iris 5100 and it would be better than the Quadro K1100M? Or I am completly wrong?

Besides, I like the Precision M3800, it's thin, light, powerful, FHD, touchscreen (difficult to find a powerful slim laptop with touchscreen), no Ethernet port (I hate them. I'm always in location where the wifi is good and there is no ethernet cable). Do you think there will be a PCIe port free in the laptop for put the Samsung PCIe SSD in it? That would be interesting.

 

The M3800 is supposed to be using a 384 core K1100M which should have similar performance as a rebadged K2000M @ 45W instead of 55W.
Your link is to the 192 core K1000M which was causing confusion due to NVidia's internal 1100M code name.

 

Love the specs, although I wish it was a tiny bit lighter.

Any guesstimates on what the battery life would be for just surfing the Web and doing documentation stuff?

Specs are already available since last week.
NVIDIA Quadro K1100M | techPowerUp GPU Database
It's like a K2000M with clock speed a little lower. Double shaders compared to the K1000M.

 

still DDR3 . I was hoping it would be DDR5

 

It is GDDR5. I don't think the above specs are correct.


Here are the specs directly from NVIDIA:
