My mobile workstation history in 3DMark results

[Hyper]

Hi, I'm a PC enthusiast that used to be active on the now-dead Notebook Review forums. I like premium business notebooks for their no-nonsense reliability and build quality but I also like a notebook with a powerful graphics card for 3D and gaming. Therefore, I always went for a professional mobile workstation as my laptop. I still have all of them because I like PC hardware and with all of these systems I have many years of life history. For example, in 2012 I had a major accident that sent my to a foreign hospital for a week. Could not leave my bed after surgery. I had nobody there to keep me company, could not understand a word of Czech TV and had no internet. But at least I had my Elitebook 8540W with me with all of my music, with some games and a diary to write in.

 

Here is the history of my systems:

 

2010: HP EliteBook 8540W (Core i5-560M - FirePro M5800 - 8GB DDR3-1066 - Win7Pro x64)

2015: Dell Precision M4800 (Core i7-4810MQ - FirePro M5100 - 24GB DDR3 1600 Win7Pro x64)

2018: Dell Precision 7520 (Xeon E3-1545M v5 - Quadro M2200 - 32GB DDR4 2666 Win11Pro)

It's quite stunning how much PC technology has improved over time.
