ITC Reviews: Dell Precision Workstation T7810
When Dell first announced the arrival of the Precision workstation T7810, those in need of a genuine powerhouse PC suddenly had their options blown wide open. These were never going to be cheap computers and nor were they intended to be – this was instead to be a series of machines designed to supply outstanding and consistently-awesome power to those in need of more grunt than a handful of lower-level computers.
But what’s really interesting is how even now, quite some time since the T7810 first made its debut, it’s still considered one of the most outstanding pieces of hardware in its class. The Precision Tower range in its entirety was introduced primarily to appeal to those working with high-end video editing and general graphic applications and as the prices continue to come down, the range as a whole is working its magic with a variety of other power-hungry users.
Of course the fastest and easiest way of getting to grips with how these are most certainly not your average entry-level Dell computers is to check out the primary specifications…which are as follows:
- Precision T7810 – 825W Chassis
- Intel® Xeon® E5-2630 v3 (Eight Core HT, 20MB Cache, 2.4GHz Turbo)
- 32 GB (4x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4 RDIMM ECC
- 512GB Solid State Drive
- 500 GB 3.5inch SATA III Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
- 8X DVD+/-RW Drive
- 4 GB AMD FirePro W5100 (4 DP) (2 DP to SL-DVI adapters)
- 10/100/1000
- Dell USB Keyboard and Mouse
- Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
- 3 Year Dell Onsite Warrant
Technically speaking, the only thing that could be considered less-than 100% mind-blowing about this list is Windows 7…which is technically irrelevant given that it’s eligible for a free Windows 10 upgrade. With specifications like these, it’s almost pointless to begin discussing what exactly the Precision T7810 can and cannot do. In a nutshell, there’s pretty much nothing on Earth you can throw at this thing that it won’t handle with one hand tied behind its back.
From professional level video editing to high-end gaming to 3D graphic applications and all else besides, it’s the kind of machine that laughs in the face of the kind of tasks that cripple lesser machines. And at a price of just £1,499 +vat which includes a Dell 3-Year Warranty On Site Next Working Day as standard, it’s also the kind of bargain too good to overlook.
