Aaron44126 Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 I did check with a rep again this afternoon, hoping to corroborate the 7/5 or 7/7 RTO dates suggested by @FabeFromBOD. They still don't have tentative RTO date to hand out. I was given a rough "maybe within two weeks" estimate that I don't put much stock in. (I would like to think that it is likely that the system will launch within two weeks, I just don't think the rep was going off anything solid when he said that.) ...I'll check again sometime after the holiday weekend. 2 Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) • Dell Precision 7560 (work) • Full specs in spoiler block below Info posts (Windows) — Turbo boost toggle • The problem with Windows 11 • About Windows 10/11 LTSC Spoiler Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) M2 Max 4 efficiency cores 8 performance cores 38-core Apple GPU 96GB LPDDR5-6400 8TB SSD macOS 15 "Sequoia" 16.2" 3456×2234 120 Hz mini-LED ProMotion display Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 99.6Wh battery 1080p webcam Fingerprint reader Also — iPhone 12 Pro 512GB, Apple Watch Series 8 Dell Precision 7560 (work) Intel Xeon W-11955M ("Tiger Lake") 8×2.6 GHz base, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading ("Willow Cove") 64GB DDR4-3200 ECC NVIDIA RTX A2000 4GB Storage: 512GB system drive (Micron 2300) 4TB additional storage (Sabrent Rocket Q4) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 15.6" 3940×2160 IPS display Intel Wi-Fi AX210 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3) 95Wh battery 720p IR webcam Fingerprint reader Previous Dell Precision 7770, 7530, 7510, M4800, M6700 Dell Latitude E6520 Dell Inspiron 1720, 5150 Dell Latitude CPi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of things posted "before" the support page went live. For instance, the Wi-Fi driver has a date in May. The Intel Rapid Storage driver just appeared on the 7X70 support pages today, but it has a posted date of June 10. In some cases, they might upload something and have it "hidden" (as is likely the case with these BIOS updates), and in some cases, they may release something for a different system and then add 7X70 to it later (as is likely the case with the Intel Rapid Storage and Wi-Fi drivers). They can also post something, pull it down, and then post it again later with a new release date (see Precision 7X60 1.11.0 BIOS update). [Edit] Checked in this morning, reps are still not able to provide an RTO date.

Aaron44126 Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Observations, messing around with the Dell Precision 7670 configuration page (UK version). CPU upgrades are cheap, why not get 12950HX? I almost wonder if it's worth it to Dell to have to deal with three different CPU/motherboard options. [Edit] Actually looks like they also up the warranty price when you select a better CPU, so it is not as cheap as it looks. Based on previous pricing, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti should cost only slightly more than RTX A4500. The GeForce option does not show on the web form. You have to go through a sales rep to get it. Upgrade to 128GB RAM (from base 16GB RAM) costs around $2,000 USD (about the same in GBP with the VAT factored in). SSD prices are still quite high as well, you can get a (good!) SSD aftermarket for around half of what they are asking. ...Somehow, an "additional" 4TB SSD costs about two thirds of what it costs to put one in the primary slot. For displays, it looks like there are only WLAN options. I wonder if that means that all of these systems will have the plastic antenna enclosure at the top of the display enclosure (rather than being all aluminum as the pictures show). A previous poster noted that you can't select WLAN and OLED at the same time. They appear to be offering it here. (That said, you cannot actually select a WLAN card to add in, they are not offering it yet.) I wonder if some of these are mislabeled. There appears to be at least one case of duplication, same text but different price. With the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card now soldered onto the motherboard, I wonder how the "no Bluetooth" option that you can select actually works. Do they have a different motherboard version that has the Bluetooth capability disabled? More likely it is just a firmware/BIOS toggle that they'll do for you. As expected, if you try to configure the system with three SSDs, it forces you to upgrade the GPU to at least RTX A3000. ...And if you select the A3000 GPU or better, it forces you to pick the 240W PSU and 93Whr battery. I wonder why they don't just automatically select the PSU for you like they do with the chassis. Seems like no reason to use 240W PSU with thin chassis if the CPU+GPU power limit is below 110W (as according to @Dell-Mano_G earlier). Nothing seems to explicitly tell you if you will be getting the "thin chassis" or "performance chassis". (FYI: If you get A2000 or lower GPU, you will get the thin chassis. Thin chassis only supports two SSDs. If you think you might want to have three SSDs installed later, you need to pick the appropriate GPU now.) ...They're not showing an estimated ship date. 1 Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) • Dell Precision 7560 (work) • Full specs in spoiler block below Info posts (Windows) — Turbo boost toggle • The problem with Windows 11 • About Windows 10/11 LTSC Spoiler Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 (personal) M2 Max 4 efficiency cores 8 performance cores 38-core Apple GPU 96GB LPDDR5-6400 8TB SSD macOS 15 "Sequoia" 16.2" 3456×2234 120 Hz mini-LED ProMotion display Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 99.6Wh battery 1080p webcam Fingerprint reader Also — iPhone 12 Pro 512GB, Apple Watch Series 8 Dell Precision 7560 (work) Intel Xeon W-11955M ("Tiger Lake") 8×2.6 GHz base, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading ("Willow Cove") 64GB DDR4-3200 ECC NVIDIA RTX A2000 4GB Storage: 512GB system drive (Micron 2300) 4TB additional storage (Sabrent Rocket Q4) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 15.6" 3940×2160 IPS display Intel Wi-Fi AX210 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3) 95Wh battery 720p IR webcam Fingerprint reader Previous Dell Precision 7770, 7530, 7510, M4800, M6700 Dell Latitude E6520 Dell Inspiron 1720, 5150 Dell Latitude CPi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
operator Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Just talked to sales rep. Even if it is configurable on the web page now, it seems not orderable yet. They have a tentative date by tomorrow 7th, but this is not safe. But the visibility in the web configurator let me hope the best.... 1 Dell Precision 7670 - i7-12850HX/RTX3080Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the visibility in the web configurator let me hope the best.... I'm going to ask one of the reps that I've been dealing with and see what they say. Maybe I can get a quote today so that I can just order first thing tomorrow morning. ...But this is a good sign, I think; just yesterday they were saying "no date yet", so with a date this close I think they'd be ready to hit it.

serpro69 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 If I select i9 CPU, then Windows 10 Pro becomes unavailable. I wonder if this is a mistake or intentional. Both i5 and i7 allow you to select Windows 10. 1 GitHub Currently and formerly owned laptops (specs below): Serenity -> Dell Precision 5560 N-1 -> Dell Precision 5560 (my lady's) Razor Crest -> Lenovo ThinkPad P16 (work) Millenium Falcon -> Dell Precision 5530 (work) Axiom -> Lenovo ThinkPad P52 (work) Moldy Crow -> Dell XPS 15 9550 Spoiler Senenity / N-1: Dell Precision 5560 i7-11800H CPU 1x32 GB DDR4 2,666 MHz 512 GB SSD NVIDIA T1200 FHD+ 1920x1200 PopOS 22.04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
operator Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 9 minutes ago, Aaron44126 said: CPU upgrades are cheap, why not get 12950HX? I almost wonder if it's worth it to Dell to have to deal with three different CPU/motherboard options. In the configurator you see 25€ upgrade costs from i7 to i9. But when you select it, the total amount increases by ~400€. So at least for me, I stay on i7 - its sufficient for my needs. 1 Dell Precision 7670 - i7-12850HX/RTX3080Ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
