Dell Precision M2300

Advantages: Great design, easily upgradable at point of purchase
Disadvantages: Better performance can be costly so keep an eye on your budget

...So the question would be - is the Precision M90 as Precisely great as it could be? Dell products have a great reputation and for good reason. They seem to 'go wrong' far less than most of their competitors, have great customer services support in the rare cases that they do and the appearance and design of the products are always visually appealing.

The Precision range is a high-end workstation system for computer-aided design, digital content creation, geographic information systems, computer animation, software development and financial market analysis. The thing to remember it’s not a desktop it’s a workstation hence the high costs. It’s very hard reviewing an entire series.

So I can only give you a general feel for the range I will try to use the 350 Workstation is at slandered. The computer I am... Read review
