Dell Precision 7740 17.3″ Review

Bring your creative visions to life on the go with the Dell Precision 7740 mobile workstation. Designed for professionals, this laptop features a 6-core Intel Core i7-9850H processor running at 2.6 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM to handle demanding tasks such as video editing and 3D rendering. The 17.3-inch 1920 x 1080 FHD UltraSharp anti-glare IPS display covers 100% of the sRGB color standard and is powered by an NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 graphics card, designed with artists, designers, and engineers in mind. You can connect up to two 8K (7680 x 4320) monitors using the built-in Mini DisplayPort and one of two Thunderbolt 3 USB Type-C ports, as well as a 4K (4096 x 2160) display via HDMI. Multiple displays will give you more space for efficient multitasking. Projects can be stored on a 512 GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, and the system also includes an SD/SDHC/SDXC card reader and available M.2 PCIe slots for additional storage. Additionally, the Precision 7740 has a built-in smart card reader and a Noble Wedge lock slot.

You can connect peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and external drives to two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports. A dedicated PowerShare port allows you to charge USB devices, such as phones, portable music players, and more, even when the system is turned off, using the 6-cell 97Wh lithium-ion ExpressCharge battery. Connect your Dell Precision 7740 to the network wirelessly via 802.11ax Wi-Fi or through a wired Gigabit Ethernet port. Both are designed to provide high-speed data transfers for backing up or distributing your work. The workstation comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed, and its performance can be further enhanced with Dell Precision Optimizer, which automatically tunes your workstation to make programs run at maximum speed.
