That's still the Precision 3000 series? It doesn't look like the Pro Max series

I found a laptop that we are so keen to see, DELL pro max 18 ULTRA 285HX, look at this beauty. On the left is the Dell precision 7680, in the middle is the DELL 16 PRO MAX ULTRA 285HX, and on the right is the 18-inch one

The middle one is the Precision 5490/5480😀, and the right one is the Precision 3590

Dell released spec sheet links for pro series

Looks like a new thunderbolt dock has been planned to replace the existing WD22TB4, the SD25TB4

I don't think Pro Max (non-Plus) will need 240 watts...

I guess the model on that page is the Pro Max 16 Plus? not quite sure

I believe this is the single-port 240-watt PD 3.1 adapter.

The model mapping seems somewhat confusing and crazy. However, considering the target market, the Dell series is intended for home use only, the Pro series is aimed at business use, and the Pro Max series is designed for high-end business users seeking high performance.

One thing I noticed is that they merged the XPS and Latitude 9000 models into a single product line, which simplifies the lineup.

They also renamed the desktop line as follows:

XPS Desktop→ Dell Desktop

Optiplex → Dell Pro Desktop

Precision Tower → Dell Pro Max Desktop

Dell Inc. Dell Pro Max 16 MC16250
 

OK, I believe this would be the Precision 3000-class product

Based on this, I would assume the following classifications:

5000-class: Dell Pro Max 16 Premium MA(?)16250

7000-class: Dell Pro Max 16 Plus MB(?)16250

I hadn't been paying attention... but this is from another laptop maker... it looks like dropping the right Ctrl key is a normal thing to do, I guess...  *sigh*

 

Off-topic: This shift key is way too long.

Following the naming rules and this URL: https://www.delltechnologies.com/asset/en-ca/products/laptops-and-2-in-1s/technical-support/dell-pro-rugged-14-rb14250-spec-sheet.pdf

Just waiting for the moment when this will be published:

USB-C charging only

That would be a disaster if Dell does so using a 240-watt PD 3.1 adapter. I suffered using the Precision 5760/5770 models because the battery would drain quickly under heavy load, even when plugged in with the adapter.

@song_1118 is the source?

Absolutely, he is the source. It was originally posted on https://weibo.com/7632744038/5110144742721072.

It looks like they use 'Pro' to indicate their laptops for business purposes

does this confirm the possibility of upgrading from 12 to 16?

It’s not possible to enable the two unused solder pads on the PCB unless vRAM is soldered onto those pads. The only feasible upgrade would be to replace all six vRAM chips with larger, double-capacity vRAM chips, which means 12GB->24GB.

there are two empty spaces for GDDR6 memory on the graphics card, if you install them, will the graphics card resist? I mean the RTX 3500 ADA expand the memory from 12GB to 16GB?

No, it won't work. You need to maintain the GPU's bit width—6 slots mean 192 bits. The only upgrade option is from 12GB to 24GB. However, as of now, I believe the Ada series hasn't been cracked to support such a large VRAM capacity in their vBIOS.

The supported VRAM combinations are hard-coded in the vBIOS. Refer to the GPU-Z entry for confirmation.

For what purpose?

I'm replacing the GPU on my desktop machine. It is also portable to carry out with an x86 tablet.

I repurposed my extra DGFF GPU as an external GPU. It works perfectly.

If you consult the motherboard schematic, you will notice that the OLED display control signals originate from both the TouchScreen/IR connector and the eDP connector. You will require a compatible screen cable to connect to your OLED component.

Could someone check on the machine where the udh oled screen is, what is the part number of the motherboard. I would like to upgrade the screen to a UDH model, but it doesn't fit my FHD motherboard. what all needs to be changed to be able to install a udh screen...

 

Edit: swing computer salesman says that upgrade to udh screen, will work just by cable change, is that true??

I just discovered that the 7680 has the ability to auto-rotate the screen. What's the purpose of that?

It is hard to tell, but there is some degradation in multithreaded performance in R23.

It used to be 30K

Now:

Just updated to BIOS v1.15, Dell has updated the CPU microcode to 129h to avoid BSOD issues in 13th/14th Gen CPUs. Not much change in multithreaded performance, but the maximum CPU voltage is now capped at 1.5v.

the fingerprint reader wouldn't work consistently.

That is abnormal, my fingerprint sensor works well in Linux

Has you tested the 330w charger? Has the power limits improved?

No. it won't change

https://press.hp.com/us/en/press-releases/2024/hp-unveils-largest-portfolio-ai-pc.html

HP refreshed their ZBook line. That's so funny, they keep both 13th and 14th-gen HX.

13th Gen Intel Core (with vPro) or 14th Gen Intel Core (non vPro)

Or it just means that Intel is late to announce the special CPUs that are needed for workstations.

Most likely not.

It can be said with certainty that Lenovo won't update their P16, and the P16 Gen 2 will be an SKU lasting 2 years.
