It is available with a range of display options including a new 17.3-in. UltraSharp UHD IGZO display featuring 100% Adobe color gamut.

Dell Precision rack solutions offer secure, remote access for applications and help keep intellectual property in the data center. Space-constrained offices can benefit from moving the workstation to the datacenter, and the Dell Precision 3930 rack workstation is a solution for customers running complex application environments such as interactive design and large data set analysis workloads. The 1U rack workstation offers scalability in a compact form factor and has been updated with Intel Xeon E or 9th Gen Intel Core processor options. The solution now offers up to 128GB of memory and up to one double-width 295W of NVIDIA Quadro or AMD Radeon Pro professional graphics support. 

The next-generation Dell Precision 3630 and 3431 tower workstations maximize workspaces. These towers will accelerate workflows and improve response time with up to 128GB or 64GB of 2666Mhz ECC or non-ECC memory respectively, and both offer scalable storage options, the company reports. The Precision 3630 offers up to delivers up to 16GB video memory with Quadro P5000 graphics. Users also have the option of graphics support with the AMD Radeon Pro WX7100.
