Dell has finally understood that cutting down the size of its notebooks might just help the depleting sales count and it has introduced the latest member from the Precision series- M4500. The Precision 4500 shares many features with the 17-inch M6500 but it offers a smaller 15.6-inch screen for starters.
The 15.6-inch display has a 16:9 ratio and 1920 x 1080 resolution and the notebook features a choice of processors- Core i5 or Core i7. The graphics are taken care of by the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800M or 880M chipsets.
