Dell Precision Mobile Workstation: 7750
Introduction This is the first computer that I've ever purchased with a version of Linux installed from the factory. It is both terrifying and exhilarating. Dell's shipping process is borked. After placing my order and waiting close to 3 weeks, I got a shipping notification on Sunday 6/21 with an anticipated delivery date of 6/24. 6/24 came and went. After 2 support order tickets with Dell, I am no clearer on the problem. Eventually I got an email from FedEx that my shipment was actually received on Thursday 6/25. With 2 day shipping I had to wait through another weekend to get my order. This beast is no cheap laptop but I rationalized the expense through several factors: 1) I only upgrade my primary computer once every 5 years or so; 2) I have employer money to offset; 3) I have stimulus money to offset. I tried to get the best non-upgradable components that I could afford now and saved the user upgradable components for later purchases. Highlights: 210-AVUS Mobile Pre
