Reviews for the Dell Precision 3530

84.3% Dell Precision 3530 (Xeon E-2176M, Quadro P600) Workstation Review | Notebookcheck
Can't take the heat. The Precision 3530 is the latest entry-level workstation from Dell. Powered by an Nvidia Quadro P600 and a new Xeon CPU from Intel, the Precision 3530 is a capable machine. Heat management and fan noise leave quite a bit to be desired, however.

E-2176M: On Coffee Lake architecture based professional processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates six processor cores clocked at 2.7 - 4.4 GHz (4.1 GHz with 6 cores) that support HyperThreading. Manufactured in an improved 14nm process (14nm++). Compared to the similar consumer Core i7-8850H, the mobile Xeon offers support for ECC main memory, is slightly higher clocked and offers more L3 cache.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
