Dell Precision M7510

[mml373]

So I'm looking to replace an ancient laptop--and two desktops--with one simple laptop solution that has docking station support for dual monitors. I'm leaning toward a Dell Precision M7510, but am stuck on which processor to choose... The Intel® Core™ i7-6920HQ (Quad Core 2.90GHz, 3.80GHz Turbo, 8MB 45W, w/Intel HD Graphics 530) or the Intel® Xeon® E3-1535M v5 (Quad Core 2.90GHz, 3.80GHz Turbo, 8MB 45W, w/Intel HD Graphics P530).

I can get 64gb of RAM with the i7, or up to 32gb of ECC RAM with the Xeon.

I like a stable system.

Would appreciate any thoughts/advice on how to proceed. These machines are terribly expensive and I'm wondering if $550 spent at WalMart would but something good enough to get me into just one machine within my household. They have a laptop for $550 with i7 and 12gb of RAM. Far away better than what I currently have as a laptop, but not as snazzy as my two homebuilt desktops (identical i7s with 16gb of RAM.)


Thanks for any replies.

What you get depends on what you want to use it for. The Precision model is designed for working with things like CAD programs and video editing and is made to a higher quality and build solidness than regular consumer laptops.
