We had a feeling Dell might soon be releasing its Precision M4600 and M6600 laptops when a leaked product manual made waves on the Web, and it turns out we were right. Dell today officially announced these two new models, which the OEM is pitching as the world's most powerful 15.6-inch (M4600) and 17.3-inch (M6600) mobile workstations. Let's take a peek at the specs.
The Dell Precision M6600 offers many of the same specs in a bigger form factor, with the following differentiating hardware options:
Both models sport a redesigned chassis made with rigid and durable aluminum and magnesium alloy, and MIL-STD 810G tested for extreme temperatures, vibration, dust, altitude, and shock. Also included are plenty of connectivity options, such as two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, combo eSATA/USB 2.0, DisplayPort, VGA, and HDMI.
In addition to new mobile workstations, Dell also ported its Precision R5500 into a dual-socket rack form factor. Features of the new R5500 include up to two Intel Xeon 5600 series processors, up to 192GB of 1066MHz or 1333MHz ECC memory, one or two PCI-E x16 discrete graphics cards, up to five 2.5-inch SATA hard drives, and a tray-load DVD or Blu-ray drive.
The Dell Precision M4600 starts at $1,678, the M6600 at $2,158, and the R5500 at $2,551. Both the M4600 and M6600 will be available globally starting May 10, and the R5500 in the U.S. on May 3.

Because you have had so many or ran a company that uses the Precision Workstations or what?
I would like to see you give it away for no profit if someone offered you one.

It's still a Dell. Dell has amongst the worst build-quality for notebooks. I wouldn't touch one of these things if it landed on my lap.
