Dell shows off the UltraSharp 32: a 32-inch Ultra HD display set to arrive in Q4 (eyes-on)
Posted in: Today's Chili
If you’re looking to boost the resolution of your workflow, Dell took the opportunity to unleash one such display during the proceedings at SIGGRAPH this week. The UltraSharp 32 is a 32-inch Ultra HD unit that wields a 3,840 x 2,160 IGZO panel sorting 1.07 billion colors. An aluminum stand has replaced the plastic-draped one from previous models, but the same height adjustments reside around back. The UltraSharp 32 also houses both full and mini display ports (with the requisite cable included), HDMI jack, a built-in USB hub and an SD card reader along the left side. We had a chance to take a quick peek at the device and we can confirm the image quality — especially when it comes to handling rich blacks. We also enjoyed gazing upon a matte finish rather than a glossy surface and we’re told Dell has actually made some tweaks there to reduce any grainy results that may creep in. There’s no word on pricing just yet, but the display is set to arrive during the fourth quarter of this year. A smattering of images from our brief eyes-on session await in the gallery.

Dell Precision M3800 MacBook Pro rival confirmed: 3200 x 1800 display rumored
Posted in: Today's ChiliDell has confirmed to SlashGear that it is readying an unannounced mobile workstation, the Precision M3800, tipped to take on Apple’s MacBook Pro with a Retina-besting 3200 x 1800 15.6-inch display. Due to hit desks before the year is out, the new notebook packs a quadcore Intel Core i7-4702MQ processor and up to 16GB of memory, according to Tweakers, and a choice of either 1TB of standard hard-drive space or 512GB of SSD storage.
It’s the display that’s most interesting, though, with the Precision M3800 said to offer a choice of resolutions from 1920 x 1080 Full HD, up to a whopping 3200 x 1800. Considering Apple’s MacBook Pro 15 has 2880 x 1800, that would put the M3800 just ahead.
Driving that display is expected to be NVIDIA’s Quadro K1100M GPU, complete with up to 2GB of dedicated memory. If the graphics chip sounds unfamiliar then you’re not alone; it’s not yet been announced by NVIDIA.
Ports on the 15.6-inch notebook are said to include four USB 3.0, HDMI, and an SD card reader, though no ethernet connection; instead, Dell is said to have followed Apple’s example and relied on a separate adapter dongle for that. There’s still room for either 61Wh or 91Wh batteries, though, though no word on how long the Precision M3800 will last on a full charge.
The Windows 8 notebook will be offered with or without a touchscreen, and Dell will supposedly be charging between $1,699 and $1,999 for the matte black, aluminum-trimmed machine.
Dell would not confirm the full specifications, though did tell SlashGear that the notebook is indeed an upcoming model.
“Dell is introducing the thinnest and lightest workstation ever later this year” a spokesperson told us. “The Dell Precision M3800 is the first mobile workstation that is less than 3/4 of an inch, at 18mm, weighs only 4.5lbs and offers certified performance and dependability for creative professionals. We are not releasing or confirming any additional details today but stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.”

Report: Dell Precision M3800 workstation to launch with 3,200 x 1,800 display option (updated)
Posted in: Today's Chili
According to a source speaking to Dutch site Tweakers.net, which has been spot on with a previous Dell leak, a new laptop known as the M3800 is set to join Dell’s Precision range of workstations. An Intel Core i7-4702MQ (Haswell) processor will reportedly power the M3800, with a 2GB NVIDIA Quadro K1100M GPU taking care of graphics. It’s expected to come with up to 16GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive or 512GB SSD and two options for the 15.6-inch screen: a 3,200 x 1,800 resolution or a 1080p panel as the base option. The workstation is said to measure 18mm (around 0.7 inches) at its thickest point, and tip the scales at 2kg (4.4 pounds). Integrated docking found on other Precision models is apparently not in the M3800’s feature set; it’s also missing an Ethernet port, so hard-lines will need to be connected via a USB intermediate. Tweakers.net lists an expected price range of $1,699 to $1,999, but now comes the part where we wait for the M3800 to go official and see how correct all this leaked info is.
Update: Dell has now provided us with a statement that confirms that the M3800 is indeed coming later this year, although it’s not yet confirming all of the specs. More information is promised in the coming weeks.

If you were looking for a bounce-back in the PC market after a sobering first quarter… well, keep looking. Both Gartner and IDC estimate that shipments fell about 11 percent year-over-year in the second quarter. The two analyst groups blame the decline on sluggish uptake in a few regions, most notably China and Europe, as well as a market that favors tablets over low-end computers. It’s easy to agree after seeing the numbers. Taiwanese PC makers like Acer and ASUS faced steep yearly declines as they switched their attention toward tablets and Ultrabooks, while even top-seated Lenovo took a small bruising.
There’s a silver lining to this cloud, however. Dell, HP and Lenovo all fared much better in the US than they have in recent quarters. Gartner and IDC attribute the resurgence to the corporate world, where the end of Windows XP support in 2014 may be pushing some upgrades to PCs running at least Windows 7. It’s not quite the broader recovery that vendors are hoping for, but it may have to suffice when any help from Windows 8.1 and OS X Mavericks is months away.

Dell cites poor tablet sales, but has high hopes for Windows 8 enterprise use
Posted in: Today's ChiliDell isn’t new to struggles, and it seems the company is continuing its streak of poor sales. Dell’s only two Windows-based tablets, the XPS-10 and Latitude 10, have only combined for “hundreds of thousands” of units sold, according to Sam Burd, who is the company’s vice president of personal computing.
Obviously, those numbers aren’t what investors had in mind, but it goes along with overall expectations of Windows tablets in general, which haven’t been selling so well anyway, but Dell says that they’re really excited about the potential that Windows 8 has in the enterprise space, even though companies are wary of upgrading to new operating systems.
Still, Burd thinks that the future will bode well for Windows 8 tablets and the enterprise market, but he says that “it’s going to take some time, and the jury is still out.” He notes the strong competition with the iPad, but says that “in a few years when we get to Windows 8 tablets being a third or 40% of tablet volume, we can feel [the Windows tablet adoption] happening. Tablets are definitely an important piece of the computing business.”
Microsoft is looking to ramp up Windows 8, though, with a Windows 8.1 update that brings a lot of new features, as well as performance improvements. We ended getting our hands on the new update and very much happy with it for the most part, but Dell and Microsoft both believe that the improvements will help Windows 8 device sales over the next year or so.
However, bringing Windows 8 into the corporate and enterprise world is proving to be a tough task. Many companies have only recently upgraded to Windows 7, so another upgrade to Windows 8 would be a bad move time-wise, but companies are turning Windows 8 away for general computer use, mostly just because of the revamped touch-optimized user interface that really doesn’t work well on devices without a touchscreen. Here’s only hoping that more and more businesses adopt tablets.

Wearable technology is all the rage these days, and Dell isn’t immune to the peer pressure: its global VP of personal computing, Sam Burd, tells the Guardian that his company is “exploring ideas” in the field. While it’s not clear just how serious plans would be at this stage, Burd notes that the idea of a Dell smartwatch is alluring. He can’t champion his firm’s tablet sales, however. Dell has reportedly sold just “hundreds of thousands” of Windows 8 and RT slates like the Latitude 10 and XPS 10. The executive predicts a sales boost as corporate customers adapt to Windows’ new interface, but he’s cautious — he believes that the young platform has to grow before clients (and rivals) take notice.
