Next Generation Dell Precision Mobile Workstations press release

7510 owner's manual is up.

 

Ubuntu is definitively coming for the 5510. It is described in the quick setup: http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_precision_mobile/precision-m5510-workstation_Setup Guide_en-us.pdf

 

Yes I know cause I have a ZBook but they don't have 4K options, at least not yet. How do you know that the 7710 and 7510 are only 8-bit per color? Do you have a source?

 

In the manual it says the expanson bus is PCIe 1.0 and 2.0 therefore no PCIe 3.0 so that limits the speed of the M.2 SSDs.
Also the viewing angles of the display are pretty poor, only + or - 60 degrees.

 

Those are very significant considerations, I would like someone competent - specifically, Dell_Mano, to comment on this. Could be errors in the manual?

 

good assumptions as I keep hearing of Optimus support like in the M4800/M6800 series. one tester I know has the 7510 and said that the drivers show it as 16.7m colors, not 1.1B, but a very good calibration on the wide gamut screen far superior to the rMBP and her iMac.

I had not heard of bad viewing angles at this point, I assume its the same screen in the 15" that the Lenovo P50 uses and it has great viewing angles.

 

The Lenovo P70 lists this for the M2 drives: M.2 SSD / PCIe NVMe, PCIe 3.0 x 4, 32Gb/s

 

Very easily, my M6700 Covet etc deviate from the early manual greatly. I think those writers at time are the same inept on the sales chat service.

 

Nice catch. I know I'm part of the OS 1.5%, but it's really nice to be a supported use case.

 

Definitely, the same section that list those mentions an optical drive, which we know it doesn't have.
