The Latitude E6540 laptop, OptiPlex 9020 and OptiPlex XE2 desktops will be available in the coming weeks.

Dell Precision T1700 Workstations

Offering powerful workstation performance at near desktop PC prices, the new Dell Precision T1700 small form-factor (SFF) and Mini-Tower are the smallest workstations in their class allowing IT to easily deploy an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) certified workstation almost anywhere, regardless of space constraints. The new systems are designed for engineering, architecture and finance professionals and students working with 2D, entry-level 3D simulation or multitasking with demanding applications.

We introduced the T1700 workstations on May 16 in select countries and they have received very positive reviews to date including Videoaktiv digital online, Computer Sweden, The Inquirer, etc. who praised the systems for their compact bodies with powerful performance.  Today, we are announcing the availability dates, pricing and new Intel processors. They are for sale starting today in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region and will be available in the US, Canada and Latin America on June 13 starting at approximately $689 USD. They will feature Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 processors or 4th Generation Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 processors, along with professional graphics from AMD and NVIDIA and Intel integrated graphics.
