Design
The Precision 7510 is a machine built to replace workstation PCs, so we're not surprised that it looks very plain. The laptop features a black, soft-touch lid with a cross-weave pattern and a silver, metallic rim with beveled edges.
Measuring 1.3 inches thick and weighing 6 pounds, the Dell Precision 7510 is one hefty beast, but that's typical of notebooks that offer an option for workstation CPUs. The more mainstream Lenovo ThinkPad T560 (0.88 inches, 4.8-5.2 pounds), HP ProBook 650 G2 (4.8 pounds, 1.1 inches) and 14-inch Dell Latitude E7470 (3.13 pounds, 0.74 inches) are all thinner and lighter.
On the left side of the Precision 7510, you'll find the device's HDMI port, Mini DisplayPort connector and USB 3.0 port. The laptop's other three USB 3.0 ports, SD memory reader, headphone jack and security lock slot live on the machine's right side. Dell placed the ports for Ethernet and power on the backside.
