Next Generation Dell Precision Mobile Workstations press release

Actually... I have 2 orders (with TB3). One with i7-6820HQ CPU (with delivery 04/03/2016) and second order with E3-1505M CPU (with delivery 08/03/2016) - got better offer on E3-1505M CPU (better price than i7-6820HQ CPU, everything else is the same - LOL), so I'll be returning first order. I'm from UK.

 

Okay, sounds good. I guess I'll call my rep tomorrow and ask for an update unless they automatically update the delievery date. Is your 1505M order in pre-production or production?

 

Both orders show as "In Production" atm, just different delivery dates

 

Hmmm that concerns me then since we both have 1505 orders but mine is stuck in pre-production. I'll definitely be calling tomorrow. Thanks for sharing

 

Maybe you have some other component that is out of stock? What's your config?

 

Xeon E3 1505M
32 GB DDR4 ECC Memory
512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe High Performance
512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe High Performance
Raid 1
UHD IGZO (3840x2160)
Nvidia Quadro M1000M
Internal Dual Pointing Backlit Keyboard, English
6-cell (91Wh) Lithium Ion battery with ExpressCharge
Smartcard and Fips Fingerprint Reader
3 yr pro plus support

Anything vary greatly from your order? All I care is that my order arrives before March 14th as I have a new project starting then. I have overnight shipping as well so hopefully that helps to cut back on wait time.

 

Maybe it's the screen panel? Mine is FHD.
2 more weeks is plenty of time... My 2nd order went to "in production" stage within 2 days from order date

 

I don't get the dock; how can they place the usb-c cable on the left side on the dock, when the usb-c port is on the left side of the precision?

Also the length of the table is ridiculous.

So the dock HAS to be placed to the left, behind or below of the precision, for the cable to be long eough.

 

Yeah, the placement of that cable definitely left me scratching my head wondering who designed that. I've got the dock sitting behind my laptop on my desk. Initially I wanted to build a bracket underneath the desk and hold the dock there, but my desk is plenty big to have it sit behind the laptop.

 

Can a female/male thunderbolt type C extension be used? *EDIT: I could not find such a cable anywhere online

The cable coming out of the dock though, I wonder if that is a proprietary at the one end or if a longer cable could be purchased somewhere.
