Dell Precision 5820 Tower Workstation

Built to handle complex projects, including virtual reality workflows, the Precision 5820 Tower Workstation from Dell is powered by a 3.6 GHz Intel Xeon W-2123 Quad-Core processor which will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously. If more power is needed, the CPU can deliver extra performance by increasing its clock speed up to 3.9 GHz utilizing Intel’s Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. There is also 16GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 ECC Registered RAM that comes in a 2 x 8GB configuration and can be upgraded to 256GB by using a 32GB module in each of the eight 288-pin DIMM slots.

For storage of your files, this system is equipped with a 512GB SATA 2.5″ SSD. If you want to add external storage drives, optical drives, printers, memory card readers, or other peripherals, the 5820 features two 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C ports (front), one of which supports PowerShare, and eight 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports (two front and six rear), one of which supports smart Power-on. There is also one serial port and two PS/2 ports. The dedicated AMD Radeon Pro WX 3200 graphics card has 4GB of GDDR5 RAM and delivers a sharp, clear picture, while allowing for multiple simultaneous displays to be used via its four Mini DisplayPort 1.4 outputs. Whether you are listening to music, watching a movie, or playing a game, the integrated Realtek ALC3234 audio controller outputs high-definition audio and delivers higher fidelity than standard audio controllers. Network connectivity is achieved using the integrated Gigabit Ethernet port, Dell’s 8x DVD±RW drive can be used to read from and write to optical media, and the integrated card reader supports UHS-II SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards.

Dell’s Precision 5820 Tower Workstation includes their KB216 USB keyboard, MS116 USB mouse, and a power cord. The installed operating system is Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (64-bit), which scales up for machines with a high number of logical processors and large amounts of RAM for server-grade hardware and power users.

Windows 10 Pro
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8’s Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft’s digital personal assistant, Cortana, can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the Internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Laptop, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information-gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it’s not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
Additional Windows 10 Pro Features
The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.
