Precision 7510 Owner's Thread

This was just pointed out to me in another thread... Look at the configuration page (not the page where you are building the system). Scroll down to the 'Ports' section...it's says it there. This means I will have to wait - as that's a feature I was after...

 

Here is what I see from Dell US site.
=========================================

Ports
4 USB 3.0 with PowerShare
1 Thunderbolt® 3 optional (coming Jan. 2016)
1 mDP
1 HDMI
1 Headphone and microphone combo jack
1 SmartCard Reader (optional)
=========================================
Actually, one of the picture of 7510 on Dell US site shows a machine without Thunderbolt 3 port.
I also confirmed with a Dell sales rep that Thunderbolt 3 port is not available for now. Though a little bit disappointing, it is not a deal breaker for me.
One of the reasons I like Thunderbolt 3 port is that it is an all-in-one port for power and data, but 7510 needs much more power than 100w. Also, Thunderbolt 3 peripherals need some time, maybe 2-3 years, to grow in the market, at that time, I may consider a newer laptop anyway.

 

It says it on the site (mentioned in the post above) and was also confirmed by Dell_Mano_G (Dell employee, Precision product manager) in the Next Generation Precision press release thread.

 

Thanks, folks. Managed to miss that. Looks like I'll be holding off on ordering one of these. Am waiting to see what the real as-configured weight and price on the 7710 work out as, regardless.

(I saw the mentions of it in other threads, but not where it was coming from or the formal dell confirmation -- the Press Release thread has gotten really long. )

 

1. The Dell Precision 7000 Series 15 7510 has PremierColor 4K display.

Does this mean that it will provide 10 bit per color at 60 Hz at a resolution of 3840 x 2160?
2. How do I connect an external monitor 4k 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz? Through thunderbolt3 with adapter thunderbold> Dysplayport?

 

Spec wise this would have been my ideal laptop had they offered the UHD IGZO Touch Enabled. But alas they don't..

 

Thunderbolt and the mini-DisplayPort port should both work for 4K/60Hz. Also if you use the E-Port dock, you get one or two full sized DisplayPort ports (depending on which dock it is), which can drive 4K/60Hz.

 

So - has anyone here actually ordered one yet?

 

I'm holding off for the time being. Dell UK pricing isn't that favourable for me yet, plus I don't want to deal with any issues (M4800 Linux keyboard bug took months to fix).

 

Does anyone know can you change the internal keyboard easily in future? I am planning to order the new Dell Precision 7510 from dell.co.uk but it seems that there is no a option to change the keyboard layout from UK/Irish to Swedish/Finnish. I am living in Finland and it seems really difficult to get any response from Dell's Finnish side about the laptop availability. Sweden already has the laptop in their collection but sadly they are not shipping to Finland..
