Talk:Dell Precision

Current Dell Precision desktop models
This section seems out of date. Their website lists: T1700, M3800, 5810, 7810, and 7910. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 05:51, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Current Dell Precision laptop models
Most of the "Current Dell Precision laptop models" are now (10 January 2017) discontinued, and should probably be moved to the section named "Discontinued Dell Precision laptop models" appearing towards the bottom. However, I think maintaining 2 separate sections named "current" and "discontinued" is not a good idea, because every model eventually becomes discontinued and causes a high maintenance overhead for this page. I propose that we merge the two sections into one, but add a new column called "Discontinued" next to the "Released" column. This column can have 3 states: (blank) to indicate a current model, (discontinued date) if the discontinued date is known, or just (discontinued) if the discontinued date is unknown. When a model is discontinued, we just need to update a single cell. When new models are introduced, we only need to add new rows, instead of moving stuff around between two tables. I will volunteer to do this if no one objects, because I find this page incredibly useful, and there are about 10-12 current Precision laptop models which don't appear on this page.

Update: I cleaned up the Precision laptop tables, but not exactly as I described above. First I combined the two tables (current and discontinued), then I split the table into 4 subsections: "C Series", "D Series", "E Series", "XPS Series". (I'm not sure if the "XPS Series" is the right term for it, but the M3800 didn't seem to belong anywhere.) I then added another subsection called "3000, 5000, 7000 Series" and added the current lines of Precision laptops (M3510, M3520, M5510, M5520, M7510, M7520, M7710, M7720). I did not add a "discontinued date" column, as I had proposed in the previous paragraph. Because after splitting the entries across multiple subsections ("C Series", "D Series" etc), it seemed easier to determine whether a particular model was discontinued or not.

Article tune-up

 * Since the article is named "Dell Precision", do we need to repeat "Dell Precision" in each of the top-level headings?
 * We make the distinction between "laptop" and "desktop", but then we list "rack-mounted" as a kind of "desktop".

Any objections to me fixing these? Unician &nabla; 01:02, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Adding the xx40 models to the table
Since Wikipedia's Visual Editor is the laggiest and worst editor I ever used, can anyone add the 2019/Precision MWS xx40 models to the table? --Wasmachineman NL (talk) 14:51, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Table inconsistencies
Why do different model types have different columns? For example [Dual processor, desktop form factor] and [Dual processor, tower form factor] have totally different columns despite some overlap in models. I added the 210 but had to format the data differently for the desktop vs tower case as it was available both ways. I suggest the less detailed ones be changed to match the others and the data added where possible. Either that or remove the distinction where it doesn't make a difference.
