PCWorld: The Most Powerful Laptop Available? Dell’s Precision M6500
It’s configurable with up to 32GB of RAM and up to a 2GHZ i7 quad core processor. The review model was priced at $4,700. PC World gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
“If you’re looking for power in a laptop, you’ve found it–the Dell Precision M6500 is about as powerful as modern desktop replacement laptops get. The M6500 has a number of features that you won’t find anywhere else: support for up to four memory DIMM slots (holding up to 32GB of RAM); over 1TB of hard-drive storage space; and a 17-inch, 1920-by-1200-pixel screen.
Our review model (priced at about $4700 as of September 29, 2010) is a little less impressive than the Precision M6500’s topped-out specs. It features a 1TB hard drive, 8GB of RAM, and a 2GHz Intel Core i7 processor, and it runs Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit). It also packs an nVidia Quadro FX 3800M graphics card with 1GB of dedicated memory, a built-in fingerprint reader, a 2.0-megapixel Webcam, Bluetooth, and an 8X DVD rewritable drive.”
