Meet the Dell Precision 7730
With just once glance, you can tell the Dell Precision 7730 means business, in a literal and figurative sense. The styling denotes it's meant for serious professional users, and its intimidating size makes it safe to assume it's packed with power and thermal hardware.
It's a Big One
The screen measures 17 inches diagonally, while the laptop itself is a chunky 1.18 by 16.3 by 10.77 inches (HWD) and 7.49 pounds.
Dell's Top-End Display Choice
On our very high-end ($5,000-plus) unit, the 17-inch Dell Ultrasharp display bears a 4K resolution (3,840 by 2,160 pixels) and IGZO technology.
A Soft-Touch Lid
The lid boasts a tactile carbon-fiber finish for a premium touch.
Keyboard Comfort
The Precision 7730's keyboard is comfortable, calling to mind a Lenovo ThinkPad-like typing experience. It doesn't quite match its competitor's feel, but there's more feedback and travel than on your average keyboard.
Rear-Edge Ports
The rear hosts a USB 3.1 port, a mini DisplayPort, an HDMI connection, and an Ethernet jack.
Ports on the Left...
The left flank holds two USB Type-C ports (with Thunderbolt 3 support) and an SD card slot, as well as the opening for a SmartCard.
...and on the Right
The right side has two more USB 3.1 ports and a headphone jack.
