I never considered the Precision line. I just saw that I can customize pretty much everything about it - cool! I'm considering getting it. How is it in your experience? Are there any bios or driver issues? Did you try installing linux? (I have twitter link in my profile for DM)
- mantis369 9y agoBeware the throttling. You get that i7 or Xeon performance for the first 45 seconds of the compile, and then that and the testing (or encoding, or whatever) go down to i5 performance or worse.
- seabrookmx 9y agoSo far so good. I have not installed Linux on the machine itself (I tend to run one or two Ubuntu VMs in VMWare), but I have not noticed any throttling as the other user mentions. The CPU does feature Intel turbo-boost like all modern Intel CPU's and seems to be working as intended. My only gripe is that the webcam is on the bottom of the screen. Its not very.. flattering.. as it looks up at your face.
