New Dell Mobile Workstation Takes Designers and Engineers Further From the Office; Dell Precision M60 Packs Desktop Workstation Performance Into A Notebook

ROUND ROCK, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–June 24, 2003–Imagine reviewing an aircraft design while flying in one or modifying architectural floor plans while on-site. Today’s worldwide introduction of the Dell(tm) (Nasdaq:DELL) Precision Workstation M60 satisfies the demands of professionals who require the optimal combination of performance and mobility for business-critical applications.

The Dell Precision(tm) M60′s 128MB NVIDIA Quadro FX Go700 graphics accelerator delivers richly detailed images to the 15.4-inch UltraSharp(tm) wide-aspect display, which allows users room for large designs & assemblies, multiple windows or expansive tool palettes. Graphics performance is a strong suit of the M60, with workstation-class OpenGL hardware acceleration and certifications on the leading computer-aided design and digital content creation applications. As with all Dell Precision Workstations, the M60 comes standard with 24×7 dedicated phone support.

Designers who manipulate large, complex models will appreciate the M60′s support of up to 2 GB of DDR-SDRAM and available 7200 RPM hard drives, as well as an integrated gigabit(1) (10/100/1000) Ethernet controller for ultra-fast file transfers over a network. At the M60′s core is the Intel(R) Pentium(tm) M mobile processor, which supports Centrino(tm) wireless technology and has been shown to improve performance over its predecessor, the M50. The system also features an integrated SmartCard reader for security, two USB 2.0 ports, hot-swappable media bay and tough new Tri-Metal(tm) chassis.

“Workstation customers desire mobility without having to compromise performance,” said Tim Mattox, vice president of client product marketing. “The M60 offers best-in-class graphics, storage and industrial design that extends Precision’s product leadership position, delivering the performance of a true workstation in a mobile form factor.”

The Dell Precision Workstation M60 starts at $2,599(2) and includes a 1.4 GHz Intel Pentium M processor (400 MHz FSB), 256 MB DDR266 SDRAM, 40GB 5400 RPM hard drive, 128 MB NVIDIA Quadro FX Go700 graphics card, Microsoft Windows XP Professional and a three-year next-business-day onsite(3) service with dedicated telephone support.

Dell Precision workstations are designed for customers who demand workstation hardware certification with independent software vendors in the computer-aided design, engineering, digital content creation, geographic information systems, computer animation, software development and financial analysis markets.
