The Precision 5750 is a unique 17-inch laptop that juggles between being an Ultrabook and a full-fledged mobile workstation. It doesn't particularly excel at one or the other, but it still appeals to a small segment of professionals who could benefit from its hybrid approach.

I guess Lenovo and HP aren't stupid enough to make their workstations fry themselves.
Thanks for highlighting this Allen.
LG Gram 17 started it, and has all the ports one would expect of a 17"-er.
Really hope Lenovo & Asus would join the 16:10 club, with Ryzen flavoured variants :D
I have an XPS 17 which is almost identical to Precision and I don't like it. With screen at this size, it should have more keys with numpad. Instead, it has a huge mouse pad and larger areas for speakers which are not impressed at all. I can live without numpad. But I can't live with its keyboard whose F11 and F12 keys are shared by Home and End keys. All these keys are frequently used by me. Ctrl-Shift-Home for example, is used to select text from current position to the beginning. Now I have to hold one more Fn key to do that. With Fn lock reversed, Fn-F00 is required to press F00. Now I have to carry a full sized keyboard with me. I wouldn't recommend it simply because of its keyboard.
Yes, as someone who uses the numpad all the time, I think the keyboard on the Dells are a huge minus. So much wasted space. The quad speakers could have been placed on the sides/bottom and above the keyboard.

Or have the battery drain while the charger is plugged in. Yeah, I know it's fixed now but it's ridiculous that was even a problem to begin with.
Can you even call this a workstation? Sure they stuck a Xeon and Quadro into it, but it gives up too much to be useful as a workstation.
Don't bother. Consumers should opt for desktops hooked to larger screens in such scenarios. Focus on improving the small device segment which in of itself still needs a fair bit of improvment.
