Editorial note

The Dell Precision M3800 stands out for its high performance, thanks to its Intel® Core™ i7 4th generation processor that allows for smooth execution of heavy applications and multitasking tasks. The 15.6-inch Quad HD+ touchscreen, with a resolution of 3200 x 1800 pixels, offers exceptional display quality, making interaction intuitive and enjoyable. Additionally, its robust construction in aluminum and carbon fiber ensures durability while maintaining a modern and sleek design. However, this model has some drawbacks. The lack of Ethernet/LAN ports may limit connectivity options for users who prefer a wired network connection, which is particularly relevant in professional environments. Furthermore, the maximum memory capacity of 16 GB may not be sufficient for those with intensive multitasking or heavy application needs. The weight of 1880 g may also make the laptop less convenient to carry, and the battery life, although unspecified, raises questions about its usage duration off the grid. In terms of design, the Dell Precision M3800 is rated very positively with a score of 90, reflecting its attractive appearance and sturdiness. The user experience is also very favorable, with a score of 85, particularly due to the comfort of the backlit keyboard and the touchpad. Performance receives a score of 80, but the limited memory is a point to consider. Finally, perceived value is rated at 75, partly due to connectivity limitations. In summary, the Dell Precision M3800 is an excellent choice for professionals seeking a high-performing and durable laptop, but it is important to consider its limitations in connectivity and memory to ensure it meets your specific needs.
