Today we are happy to announce, that the Dell Precision 5720, a 27” All-in-One workstation class machine is available for purchase. The system can be ordered preloaded with either Ubuntu 16.04, RHEL 7.3 or Windows 10.
What were they thinking
When the team designed the 5720, they focused on the front of screen experience with the 27” 4K UHD display, support for multiple displays out, and an integrated high-end sound bar that delivers best in class audio in an AIO, no need for added speakers.
Also supported are the latest generation Intel CPUs, including an option for Xeon CPUs, as well as the latest AMD Radeon Pro professional graphics.
The Precision line roll out
The availability of the 5270 marks the last of the Ubuntu-based Precision mobile workstations announced back in January. In January, the Precision 5520, the world’s thinnest and lightest 15” mobile workstation and Precision 3520, an affordable and fully customizable 15” mobile workstation were available for purchase. Under the heading, “coming soon,” were the 7720 the 7520 and, new to the lineup, the 5720 All-in-One.
Two weeks ago the world’s most powerful 15″ and 17″ laptops, the Precision 7520, and the Precision 7720 became available. These two brawny brothers debuted in two flavors, Ubuntu and Windows (drivers are also available for RHEL 7.3).
A look at the Precision line thanks to LAS
The week before last, Chris Fisher and Noah Chelliah of the Linux Action Show made their way from the Pacific Northwest to Dell. Besides recording LAS on site, Chris and Noah conducted a bunch of interviews. The episode above is the first of two. In this episode you not only get to learn about Dell’s Linux-powered coffee machine but you get an overview of the Precision line of systems.
The Dell segment starts at 35:36 and the overview of the Precision line, starting with the new 5720 All-in-One, begins at 37:20. When you get to the part about the 7720, which starts at around $1,699, you’ll learn what you get if you decide to drop $10K and max it out.
