Not long ago I introduced the next gen of Project Sputnik’s Linux-based Dell Precision Mobile workstations: the 3530, 5530, 7530 and the 7730. At that time the 3530 was available for purchase.
Today I’m happy to announce that the uber-powerful 7530 and 7730 are now live on dell.com
- Dell Precision 7530 Mobile Workstation, developer edition
- Dell Precision 7730 Mobile Workstation, developer edition
Note: to get to the Ubuntu option, hit “more” in the Operating System section.
These new thinner, lighter, premium-built Precision mobile workstations come preloaded with Ubuntu and have been RHEL certified. The 7530 and 7730 feature the latest Intel Core and Xeon processors, blazing-fast memory and professional graphics.
Of particular note is the increased core count and memory. In fact the maximum memory has doubled to 128GB which helps with cloud developer local workloads. In the case of the 7730, it supports up to 8TB of PCIe NVME storage, the most PCIe storage on the market today. The 7730 is also the first AI/ML ready mobile workstation available.
