Dell Precision M90 notebook review

With up to 512MB of high-performance nVidia Quadro FX 2500M OpenGL graphics (optional Quadro FX 1500M with 256MB memory), Intel Core Duo processors (up to T2600), Intel 945PM Express chipset, and up to 17-inch WUXGA (1920×1200-pixel) display, the Precision M90 (394×42x288mm, 3.9kg) is at the cutting-edge of workstation performance. Mobile options like 802.11a/g (802.11n-ready) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth even give workstation users the freedom to deliver engineering design, analysis and content creation anytime, anywhere there’s a wireless hotspot.

The Precision M90 is pitched squarely at content creators, graphics professionals and anyone who needs sheer brute computing force and high-end graphics. The laptop is certified by no less than 31 independent system vendors, which means the laptop will run the like of 3DS Max and all of Adobe’s software without a problem. It’s not the most attractive laptop we’ve seen, but its components are all first-rate and perfectly roadworthy. In addition, build quality is reassuringly solid and shouldn’t let you down on the road.
