Dell Precision T3610 review: A workstation with exceptional fit and finish

December 27, 2013

There’s a sense of focused, purposeful design that you get when you kick the tires on Dell’s Precision T3610 midrange workstation. The attention to fit and finish, especially inside the case, is outstanding. You see that with a lot of major vendors in the workstation market, of course, but the T3610 takes it up a notch compared with a workstation like HP’s Z230 Tower. Dell sells the Precision T3610 in eight configurations, starting with a $1100 model featuring a 3GHz quad-core Intel Xeon E5-1607 CPU; a 512MB Nvidia Quadro NVS 310 graphics card; 4GB of non-ECC (error-correcting code), DDR3/1600 memory; and a 500GB, 7200-rpm hard drive. The top-of-the-line configuration we tested costs $2210 and consists of a 3.7GHz quad-core Xeon E5-1650 processor; a 3GB Nvidia Quadro K4000 graphics card; 16GB of ECC DDR3/1866 memory; and a 1TB, 7200-rpm hard drive. ROBERT CARDIN Dell’s Precision T3610 features impressive fit and finish. AMD FirePro graphics boards are also available, and the motherboard supports up to 128GB of memory, but you get no solid-state drive option. And unless you’re a Premier customer buying in bulk, you’re restricted to one of the eight somewhat limited configurations Dell offers, or you can buy one and upgrade it yourself.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
