Dell releases a host of new Precision-branded laptops for work
Getting some serious work done
Dell is a household computer name pretty much everywhere and the world’s top laptop maker has a significant share in the enterprise business. Unlike consumer-oriented products, businesses are looking for serious work machines that can get the job done without any added shenanigans. Dell has updated its Precision series workstations and there’s one for everyone’s requirement.
Dell Precision 7750 and 7550
With a 17-inch and a 15-inch display respectively, the 7000-series is made with scalability and high performance in mind. It has a plethora of configurations available ranging from Intel Xeon processors to Intel Core i9, coupled with Nvidia Quadro GPUs for complex AR/VR as well as 3D CAD editing. Scalability also means the machine can house up to 128GB RAM and 2TB of SSD storage. The company has also added front-firing speakers and low blue light display for an immersive feel.
The 7750 will start at US$ 1,990 while the 7550, on the other hand, starts at US$ 1,709. Both of them shall ship from May 28.

Dell Precision 3551 and 3550
This series is more focused on portability while providing enough firepower for on-the-go tasks.

The 3551 comes with a starting price of US$ 939 while the 3550 comes for US$ 1,049. They shall be available from May 19.
Keep in mind, these laptops are designed for maximum performance and inherently have a tonne of features like multiple ports, wide-scale wired as well as wireless connection support, and other security features. Additionally, Dell says they have dual opposite outlet fans for faster heat dissipation and thinner vapor chambers instead of heat pipes.
Acer is expanding its storage lineup with the PA100 Portable SSD. It’s a compact external drive designed for users who need faster storage across multiple devices.
The PA100 uses USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity. It reaches sequential read speeds of up to 560MB/s and write speeds of up to 430MB/s. This makes it suited for everyday tasks such as transferring large files, backing up content, managing documents, and moving media between devices.
Up to 2TB of portable storage
The PA100 comes in three capacities: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. This gives users options depending on whether they need extra space for documents and schoolwork or larger collections of photos, videos, and project files.
Acer also designed the drive with mobility in mind. The PA100 has a slim 9mm profile and a lightweight build, while its reinforced construction is designed to withstand everyday travel and handling.
The drive comes with a 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C and USB-A cable. This allows it to connect to compatible PCs, tablets, smartphones, and other devices without requiring a separate adapter. It also supports major operating systems and USB-C mobile platforms.
Designed for everyday use
Power efficiency is another focus. Acer says the PA100 uses less than 3W during operation, while idle power consumption can drop to as low as 0.62W.
The drive also features an optimized thermal design to help maintain stable performance during extended transfers and daily workloads.
The Acer PA100 Portable SSD is backed by a three-year limited warranty. Pricing and availability may vary by market.

New Mac mini starts at a whopping $899, only 256GB of storage
It comes with the M6 or the M5 Pro.
Almost two decades ago, Apple was infamous for being an anti-gamer brand. Though the company’s devices touted superior protection against viruses, they couldn’t play video games, alienating a significant chunk of the population and forcing them onto PCs. For a while now, the Mac has changed the status quo, bringing in more powerful hardware that can play games. Today, Apple is championing that cause further through the newly launched Mac mini.
Compared to the chunkier Macs, the Mac mini has a lithe 5” x 5” profile, emphasizing the “mini” in its name. Despite the size, the new mini will tout two flavors of Apple silicon: the M6 and the M5 Pro.
The M6 variant delivers with up to two times faster gaming performance with ray tracing when running Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, compared to the previous M4 version. Meanwhile, the M5 Pro version touts up to 4.5 times faster rendering performance with ray tracing in Blender, compared to the M2 Pro. It will come with macOS 27 Golden Gate out of the box.
You won’t have to worry about connectivity, either. The Mac mini comes with compatibility for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and 2.5Gb Ethernet (going up to 10Gb in upgraded versions). It will also have two USB-C ports, three Thunderbolt 5 ports (but only Thunderbolt 4 for the M6 version), and HDMI port, an Ethernet port, and a headphone jack.
Unfortunately, price seems to be another thing that it’s getting from PCs. The new Mac mini has an increased starting price. Specifically, the M6 version starts at US$ 899 (with only 256GB of storage), and the M5 Pro version starts at US$ 1,699 (for 512GB of storage). Preorders are open now, but they ship out on September 22.
