not enough people have been answering the threads here (in WorkStations ).
I've asked Dell about this, with WorkStations (both Fixed/Desktop and Mobile/Laptop ) ... being segregated in their own area, away from the other machines.
... and they like it this way.
I think it's because it is a unique line-up, offered primarily to a high-end professional business user. Remember that these end-users traditionally have unlimited technical support staff at their disposal (to take care of their Dells or whatever machines in their offices or labs).

Exactly. I'm also an unpaid volunteer that noticed for a while the Precision Fixed Workstation forum has hardly been getting answers. It wasn't a case of a few threads needed answering and I reacted right away. I don't answer just to post either. If more people did that, it would probably SEEM caught up. Smooth Tesla1856 probably said it best when responding.
Tagging somebody in isn't meant to be an irritant. That's why I worded things as smooth as possible. I didn't want to come off bossy.
We also somehow seemed to lose @bmcowboy. He was a real good one in this and the Optiplex forums; and probably whatever other forums he chose.
I appreciate your concern and understand that you are trying to encourage any of the RS to contribute to the Workstation Forum. I usually try to stay away from an area that I do not have a lot of experience with which to contribute. In some of these areas the folks that post can easily outdo my meager knowledge such as the Workstation areas. I would rather stay with Laptops or more so Desktops where I have something to contribute. And no "bossy: offense taken...:Wink:
But keep contributing to the forums bradthetechnut, as I find your posts to be very helpful and knowledgeable.
I have it and others saved in bookmarks. I even had to save messages in bookmarks otherwise I can't directly access it unless somebody sends me a message.
Also, you probably know link to Precision Fixes Workstations is automatically at the top of thread; just as Optiplex link is at the top of threads in that forum and so on.

Same here. :Smile:
It's hard to offer hardware-level advice on a machine series you haven't used in real-life. I don't currently own a (working recent model) true Dell desktop Workstation. My project was years ago.
As for laptops, my old trusty M65 Mobile Workstation is long dead. :Crying:

Annoying to have to link to a link to a link to a link rather than
https://www.dell.com/community/Workstations/ct-p/Workstations
Finding this is not intuitive.
