A true beast of a laptop but don’t let its size but you off, it doesn’t let its size slow it down, especially with the amount of RAM installed! 32 whole gigabytes to be precise and we haven’t even considered the graphics card yet.
The theme developing here is that the major standout point of the M6800 is its overall spec and upgrade options. The Nvidia 4GB graphics card currently installed means you can do so much more with this laptop. There is also space for 2 hard drives which is just something you don’t usually come across with a laptop.
If there was anything you wanted to do with it once you’ve brought it, that’s easy to do as well with a little bit of knowhow or a YouTube video.

The Good Bits:

The Not So Good Bits:
As much as we try it’s almost impossible to escape the size and weight of Dell Precision M6800. Not for the feint hearted, it’s almost 42 cm wide by 28 cm deep and it weights over 3.5 kg but I suppose it’s important to mention this laptop isn’t one designed to be carried around constantly and used in loads of different places. Its far better spec is also a bit of a drain on the battery so it would pay to shop around for a backup because it’s almost guaranteed to not last the day.

The Design:
We’ve covered this in the above section more or less. The Dell M6800 isn’t a oil painting but we are ok with this. It’s clear that was never Dells intention when designing it. It’s a workhorse that’s designed to be tough and powerful, nothing more nothing less and we respect Dell for this.
Suitability:
No doubt the Precision M6800 is designed for professionals in design work that need instant performance and a durable design.
