Dell is an American technology company that manufactures personal computers, servers, data storage devices, network switches, software, etc. Dell was founded by Michael Dell in 1984 when he was a student at the University of Texas at Austin. The Dell Precision line began in 1997 as a series of computer workstations intended for professional and small-scale business servers. The Dell Precision M6800 is a very large laptop, with a 17.3-inch display and a weight of 3.83kg, and at the cost of the weight, the user gets a very sturdy product with impressive specifications. TechRadar states in this review on the Dell Precision M6800, “The M6800 is impressive, but it's a niche product. If you can justify investing in such a powerful notebook, it excels in every important area, which makes it an excellent high-end workstation.”

The body of the Dell Precision M6800 is all black, and generally rectangular. The entirety of the laptop is hard plastic, making the laptop very sturdy, yet very heavy. The Dell logo can be found under the 17.3” display and on the top lid. The serial number can be found on the underside of the laptop.
