Powerful Desktop Parade: HP & Dell

Following Apple, the recently updated line of Mac Pro and Lenovo, which is preparing for the release of new models of Thinkstation , two more major computer equipment manufacturers - well-known Dell and Hewlett-Packard, have updated their productive workstations.

HP did not wisely elaborately and announced a good middling from the "top shelf" - Pavilion Elite m9600, which offers sufficient power for a reasonable price. The basic configuration includes the following pleasures: CPU Core i7 920 2.66GHz, 4GB of RAM, 500GB Winchester, NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GS video card and DVD burner. Starting price: $ 950.

But if it seemed not enough, you can change the processor to Core i7 940 2.93GHz, add RAM up to 12GB, stick a couple of terabyte hard drives, an ATI Radeon HD 4850 accelerator with 1GB of memory, and change the dull DVD drive to Blu-Ray. For an additional fee, of course.

In addition to the desktops themselves, HP now offers four new 16: 9 monitors with a diagonal of 18.5 ", 20", 21.5 "and 23" at prices ranging from $ 170 for the smallest 18.5-inch and $ 300 for 21, 5 inch. While there is no opportunity to look at the quality of the image and assembly, we can only note that this is one of the most profitable offers on the market.

In contrast to the modest Hewlett-Packard, the guys from Dell, apparently, decided to blow up the majority view of how a truly fast computer should look, and therefore presented a trio of new Dell Precision desktops built on the Intel Nehalem architecture. And I am ready to argue that such a “accuracy” still holds the lower jaw of many.


The thing is that in the case of Dell, the fun starts from a much higher level - the “cheapest” model T3500, whose price starts at $ 999, boasts up to 24GB DDR3 ECC memory. The more powerful model T5500, whose starting price is already $ 1620, has the ability to install up to 72GB (!) Of memory and two Intel Xeon.

Daddy of this entire family, the T7500 model (its photo above) whose price starts already at $ 1,800, sports 192GB (!!!) of a three-channel DDR3 ECC memory (frequency from 1066 to 1333MHz), two Gen 2 PCIe graphics slots with support for NVIDIA SLI technology and the ability to install up to 4 Xeon processors.

All Dell models support E-SATA, which allows you to install a hard disk drive up to 1.5TB per wire (maximum - 4, but your wiring will be against), support for 2/4 monitors and DisplayPort connectors.

About accessibility is still unknown, but it is unlikely that these beauties will keep themselves waiting long.
Apple is, Lenovo is, HP is, Dell is, the monster parade continues.
