Compared to the ordinary PC, workstations provide an enhanced user experience, offering greater performance, exceptional visuals and professional Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certifications. Workstations are preferred in fields from design to petroleum exploration, major infrastructure construction and scientific research. Take an inside look at the incredible combination of hardware, software and ingenuity behind the sought-after PC and see why the workstation is suited for professionals across industries.
Workstations differ from ordinary commercial computers when it comes to computing power, stability and software certifications. For professions where devices need to run intense processes many hours a day, workstations’ power and durability are incredibly useful. To meet the powerful performance needs of workstation users, Dell Precision workstations are equipped with enterprise-grade high-performance components, such as high-end multicore Xeon CPU, high-performance SSD, 3TB of storage (larger than the average hard-disk storage capacity) and multiple top-of-the-line professional graphics cards.
High-performance components that run at high levels in a confined space generate a lot of heat that must dissipate quickly. To solve this problem, Dell designers implemented a unique thermal structure for the Precision Workstation that allows heat to dissipate efficiently. Those looking to maximize workstation screen size in a 15-inch form factor will be delighted with the new thin and light Dell Precision 5550. Decreasing rear and front height by 31% over previous generations, the Dell Precision 5550 utilizes two LCP fans that pack cooling blades for fast heat dissipation. Further thermal technologies in this model include a graphite cover and gore layer to efficiently reduce skin temperature. The Precision 5550 also gives users or IT the ability to choose their right balance of performance and thermal output through user selectable thermal tables and dynamic tuning technology.
However, building a framework with high-performance components is only the first step—workstations also feature hardware and software that work together seamlessly. Dell partners with more than 32 software vendors from a wide range of industries and specialties, with a portfolio of more than 20,000 certifications to ensure users can run their professional software efficiently and reliably on the Precision workstations. In addition, the latest Precision workstations come pre-installed with the free AI-powered Dell Optimizer, which can learn user preferences and allocate computing resources (such as CPU, memory and hard disk) to the professional software most frequently used.
The Dell Precision workstation not only offers high-quality computing but also unparalleled display. In interviews and tests from global mobile workstation users across industries, genders and ages, Dell designers found that these users prefer a larger display yet also want their mobile workstation to be as small, thin and portable as possible.
Although a challenge to build a large display while upholding the importance of portability, Dell designers created the latest Precision 5550—a 15-inch mobile workstation equipped with an exquisite four-sided InfinityEdge display, boasting a display-to-body ratio of up to 92% and starting at just 1.84 kgs.
In addition, to enhance the user experience, Dell designers supplied optional TUV-certified low blue-light panels to optimize eye comfort caused by extended screen time. The feature reduces eye strain by filtering out harmful blue-light emissions while ensuring accurate and vibrant colors.
Uncompromising in performance, stability and display experience, the Precision workstation has become a reliable companion for many. To maintain this high performance, Dell designers have adopted a consistent, user-centric design language across the entire Precision workstation lineup. Ultimately, the Precision unlocks an unmatched experience for professionals across industries, which is why it comes as no surprise it’s the trusted device from designers to data scientists.
