Overview
Unlike the majority of consumer laptops on the market, mobile workstations are built to provide desktop performance on portable frames. This means organizations are likely to sacrifice thickness and heft in exchange for storage capacity, processing speeds and graphics power.
Most workstations offer no-frills design and don’t break in more avant garde consumer-friendly features (for example: you won’t see these badboys flip over and turn into tablets).

Dell offers the Precision M3800 ($2,236, £1397, AU$2569) a Haswell-based workstation with an Intel Core i7 processor, an Nvidia Quadro graphics card, up to 16GB of memory and a 15.6-inch 3200X1800 QHD display, all loaded into a 0.7-inch thick chassis that weighs 3.96 pounds.
