Dell Precision 15 to 18 inch Price Guide – V4 2025

Jesus that is a mouthful…. Ill have to edit that URL, and not this sentence.
Precision 15″ and 17″ models basically
The new Pro Max 16″ & 18″
and 16″ 5600 series are in this guide.
Basically main workstation lines, with fastest CPUs and GPUs.

The lesser 3000, 5000, 14″ workstations and other series will be on a different page. 🙂

At the time of this writing, I just got done with my price guide for Dell Precisions, Version 4.
That link will be the current version, whatever dankpads.com/precisions will be.
And unlike Version 3, I will be separating these a bit. So I can BS and add more content, or just have a fucking slog of a page… maybe that will be nice too?

New to this guide
18" machines  - Pro Max 18 Premium

Visual Guide, but horrendous.. Go look at the unclean code
Price comparison, from V1 to V4.
– No I don’t have new prices all models, not the point of this website.
– Prices change due to discounts and whatever configs..,
– someone might email me to update the price… im not gonna bother

How to Interpret this Guide

First Column – Model – Clickable link to ebay
2nd column – Sold – How many laptops sold in the past 3 months on eBay, the more the better
When I do this price research, it is for sold listings on eBay

All prices are in USD, intended for the connected 48 states. I have worldwide selected for shipping, so whoever ships to USA, and it was sold out of the country, itll show. I wont see 400 laptops if they aren’t shipping to USA.

I sort from lowest price, to highest price. So say if there was a 100 laptops sold….
3rd column – Low Price – These prices will be the 25th to 35th laptop on the sold listings page. Sometimes they may be a stellar deal, but most will just need an SSD, OS install, or has visual damage. Assume it’ll need a power cord.

4th column – Mid Price – like above, it would be 55 to 60th laptop sold. These can require work for older machines, but newer ones will often come with an OS installed, and could come with a charger. Essentially these would be ready to go, unless it has something nice people want (fast CPU, GPU, nicer screen).

5th column – High Price – this is about the 75th to 80th laptop there. This is like my cut off price for a laptop if I were to recommend. Because you could probably get something newer, or faster. These should come with a charger, operating system, a working battery, and generally should be working! If not you’re overpaying for a Buy It Now listing or auction! Sometimes I will see European listings start about here.

6th Column – EX+ – Prices here are usually Brand New In Box, or New, Open Box type of laptops, You are buying from a reputable seller who has their own warranty for the laptop or are an authorized refurbisher from the OEM, or some sort of arrangement with them. If they are used, often times they are configured with the max memory, or storage options available. They would also have the most powerful processor or graphics card, and will probably have the optional kick ass screen too.

In some cases the first row & column will be info, like if there’s a soldered CPU, screen size/ratio, certain type of charger or graphics card connector.

From what i’ve encountered, you can get high end models, at a low price, and you can get absolute JUNKED machines at high end prices… just choose wisely.

Also Im gonna put some extra boxes in here. Graphics and CPU stuff, Ill do one for ram and storage but probably under the notes. For the max hard drives, I am not counting the CD/DVD HDD bay. So if it comes with one, I’d assume you can add it, if available.

Last of the socketed CPUs & EZ GPU swap

• M6600
  • Only a low price and EX+ had the 2.5 i7-2920XM cpu. lmao. the Quadro 3000M is obtainable quite a bit, only 3x 4000M sold in title and no 5010M.
• M6700
  • lmao yeah it just jumps the fuck up. 3x Quadro K5000’s sold, one EX+ two are about mid price, and K4000M are high & EX+, K3000 are available through out all prices. EX+ seller linked for those who want to see how to get so much $$$
    • Tom’s Computers – North Royalton, OH USA

M6800	2/4x	16/32GB DDR3L	1600/1866  2x SATA, 1 mSATA  Barrel 240W

Swap these GPUs from an Alienware machine or another. These have much more flexibility upgrading the GPU than the HP 8760W & 8770W, and there was no 17″ ThinkPad during this era. Additionally these were the last machines available with a CD or DVD drive.

2015 to 2019
Redesign & renaming

• 7710
  • Guess people hate these – idk why i wrote this
• 7730
  • In listing titles; 11x P5100‘s, starting at high and easily to EX+,
  • 10x P4200 some at low, and mid but expect high & up.
  • 100 P3200, yet only 2 AMD gpu systems, so check descriptions, photos or express codes for spec.
  • No RTX upgraded GPUs, but I did see 9x 7740’s infected this search
• 7740
  • People can pay over $1000 for these if they want to.

7710	4	64GB DDR4	2133/2667	3x m.2 2280 3x4  Barrel 240W
7720	4	64GB DDR4	2400/2667	3x m.2 2280 3x4  Barrel 240W						
7730	4	128GB DDR4 	2400/2666/2933	4x m.2 2280 4x4* Barrel 240W  
7740	4	128GB DDR4 	2666/3200	4x m.2 2280 4x4  Barrel 240W

Note: the 7710 is the last 17″ Precision available with discrete graphics as standard!
Integrated graphics became standard from the 7720 base model & onwards!
Sorry but the table would be jacked up if I put “Intel graphics” on each fucking option.
If you’re gonna upgrade you’re gonna need a few DGFF connectors (cant find anything cheaper), and the correct heatsink assembly for it.
I have a 7730 and it has since been retired, it kicked ass compared to my W550s, rendered videos a lot faster. I got a nice discount on it because it was damaged, and the DGFF connectors were misaligned. It was an easy pin grid repair and needed some reseating. It had a 2.9 Xeon E-2186M & P4200 graphics, but for some odd reason its battery would drain when off, so it would take awhile to turn on due to bios resetting. At the time the P Series ThinkPads were still a premium in the used market, & ive seen plenty of dells just get sold cheap.
But like 2 years later I upgraded to an MSI GE78 Raider w/ a much powerful i7-13700 & RTX 3070.

RIP Intellipoint nub

• 7750
  • Some 7760 results in here, but only from one seller, EPC Vegas. assuming it was a minute error.
• 7760
  • few other machines when in the high end prices… but yeah the price does jump.
• 7770
  • Had to update search, other models nearly doubled the results, and the price went up by $400. kek
• 7780
  • Finally we got some sold listings! Updated the search, but when I did scorced earth, it removed some listings, so this may have other models in it. Starts off at $3589, up to $ 5699 at Dell. But you cannot select a 5000 GPU, nor change RAM/SSD options.
• 7780 Max GPU
  • Added this
    • Systems with an RTX A5000 Ada or RTX 4090 is a special corporate/federal order
      • Swing Computers – Henderson, NV USA

7750	4	128GB DDR4 	2666/2933/3200	2x 2280 3x4, 1x 2230           240W
7760	4	128GB DDR4	3200/3466	1x 2280 4x4, 3x 2280, 1x 2230  240W					
7770	CAMM	64/128GB DDR5	3600/4800	4x 2280 4x4?              180W 240W
7780	CAMM 	64/128GB DDR5 	4800/4800/5200 	4x 2280 4x4?              180W 240W

Yeah all of these can have Integrated graphics, check specs before buying. As long as you have the Dell service tag/serial number, you can check Dell online if it comes with a GPU. They got rid of the nub, so hope the touchpad works nicely. And yeah the GeForce graphics cards are special order, but these arent the only ones; 7560, 7670, 7680, 5680, & 5690 had them as a special order as well.

18″ Powerhouse
Precision name dropped…

• Pro Max 18 Plus
• Internal name MB18250
  • None of these models available on ebay (Monday September 1st), but on sold listings one seller sold 3 laptops at $3200, one of them was maxed out which cost $9500+… so i ommited it.
    • Anyways, low price is the base model,
    • mid is configed w/ the RTX 3K 12GB,
    • high is with 4K 16GB &
    • EX+ is 5K w/ 24GB.
      • I had put various RAM/SSD configs too.

PM 18+	CAMM	256GB LPDDR5x	6400 MT/s     4x m.2 2280 4x4  USB-C ish 165W 280W	

Pro Max 18 Plus has DGFF 4 – Ignignokt shaped graphics card
I think it has two different chassis options but dont hold me to it.

17″ XPS based models
2020 – 2022

• 5750
  • XPS 9700
  • No notes
• 5780
  • XPS 9710
  • No notes
• 5570
  • 9720
  • Linked seller had up to 57% off on two sold, and then I noticed the other sellers who did have % off all are from Saint Paul, MN.
  • Wonder if they are just different markets or teams in the same location.
    • Prime Tech Renewed
    • Sj Computers LLC
    • Top-Quality-Tech

5750	2  64GB DDR4	2666/2933  2 - 1x 2280 3x4, 1x 2230  USB-C 90W,130W
5760	2  64GB DDR4	3200       2 - 1x 2280 4x4, 1x 2280  USB-C 90W,130W
5770	2  64GB DDR5	4800       2x 2280 4x4?              USB-C 90W,130W

These are basically the XPS 9700 series with quadro graphics. They are slimmer than the 77xx models, and only have two ram slots. It is hella slim, and if you notice, has a centered keyboard due to no numberpad. They don’t have an intellipoint either, so theirs that. I think they offer better screens than the 77xx as the 16:10 were premium vs 16:9.

15″ Dell Precision
4:3 Workstations
2001 – 2002

• M40
  • Updated search to include Latitude C810 & Inspiron 8100. No Precisions sold, but 15 of the others did starting at $50 to $150.
  • Having done prices since 2022, I have yet seen one of these sold. But maybe i’m just picking the wrong time to do price research
• M50
  • Mid is the sold unit, EX+ is an asking price avail unit.
  • Updated search for Lat/Insp models as well, they start at $40 and jump to $130 quickly.
  • Linked the sold listing seller, they got positive review from the sale & packaged the laptop well. 🙂 Been seeing their name in other precision searches too, very nice
    • Samdw01 – Saint Charles, MO USA

Not too sure about specs... will check again next year :P
M40 - nVidia Quadro 2 Go       32MB DDR  - Proprietary GPU card
M50 - nVidia Quadro 4 GoGL 500 64MB DDR  - Proprietary GPU card

I cant confirm, but I think Dell had IPS displays for these 15″ 4:3 machines. I do not know if they still had them for the widescreen transition, but they did have some later on, I think the M4700, maybe M4600. I cant confirm because “Dell Ultrasharp” was both IPS and TN in marketing material.

  • Mid price seller linked, they got some cool stuff other than cool old computers 🙂
    • Csv TechSupplements – Westminster, MA USA
  • also i forgot about that $10K “first prototype” listing sold by US Security solutions or some shit. Unreal.
• M4300
  • An OS seems to start at high price, then your basically paying for good stuff.
  • This is the last Precision with serial port unless you go the dock route.
• M4500
  • Seemed to get other models in this search, so originally it was 50 sold.

7510 & 7520 can substitute one m.2 slot for a 2.5" SATA drive 
7530 & 7540 can as well but only if you have the 4 cell battery
I might be wrong on some of these, info is eh
All systems run on 180W chargers
7550 Got rid of the Intellipoint Nub

Once DGFF started, you couldn’t upgrade graphics from other laptops, the Alienware cards are different shape than Precisions. I think each DGFF can upgrade from the next gen if they are the same generation or type, there is no official name for them, just shapes. I’ve heard some people upgrade from the 17″ 77xx series, but please reseach before dropping the card. What I find weird is the power delivery being only 180W… well you may need 240W for the 17″ graphics cards if you upgrade, I am presuming.
Pro Max 16 Plus has the DGFF 4 Townhouse looking GPU, so it may be swappable with the PM 16 base laptops.

Ok this format sucks now
If you want regular SoDIMM ram sticks, you can get a CAMM interposer card
Hence the 2 different ram maxes, SoDIMM has less, CAMM can be more
Ram speeds are all over the place, read the spec sheet for better info
I THINK, not sure if the PM 16+ has a thin/performance chassis,

Why are there TWO 76xx searches? Originally I had only one search for each model. However from what I gathered, the more powerful GPU systems required beefier cooling, so a thicker chassis. Almost all ebay listings dont call them thin or performance variants.

16″ Sleek models
2022 to 2025

• 5680
  • Went from 129 results to 90 on optimized search.
• 5690
  • Brand new this starts at $2529 at dell.
• 56xx 4090
  • Low price was an auction w/ 35 bids, the four others are BIN, one was discounted 25% off.
  • No units available, so a 56xx machine w/ 4090 is rare.
    • Premier Choice Tech San Antonio,TX USA
• 7670 Thin
  • New to guide, but a guestimate.
• 7680 thin
  • New to guide. EX+ should be new.
• PM 16 Premium
  • I am a bit skeptical on the sale, linking seller, they got another one, but this is for me to go back later and see if they are legit.
    • mlawday Greenbrier, AR USA
  • Mid, high, EX+ are configs from Dell.
    • It can still go higher. jesus
• PM 16 Intel
  • God. The naming scheme will FUCK searching for this fucking laptop.
  • Anyways, theres some used laptops, but most seem to be new or open box new.
  • EX+ is the base config price, and upon configuring at dell, it can get pretty pricey.
    • Also I think there are two different chassis options again.
    • Something about integrated graphics base door and discrete graphics base cover
• PM 16 Ryzen
  • No sold or available on ebay!
  • All these prices are just configs that are new at dell, and yes the Intel one is just as or more expensive.
  • Low is base, Mid is AI 7 350 w/ 32GB,
  • High is AI 9 HX 370 w/ 32GB & RTX 500 6GB.
  • EX+ has 1TB SSD, RTX 1000 8GB, & QHD+ option,
    • lol I didnt know these come with 256GB SSDs as standard, was assuming 512GB.

These are a SHIT ton of laptops… But they are like the new 16″ models. Yeah I didn’t follow the 15.6″ XPS clones, as the 56xx are essentially that. but one thingto consider is that there wasn’t a 5770 succesor, and same with the 5570 as well. So I assume Dell just formed both of those things to be the 5680, and then when they had the 7680, they knew they had too many machines. Dell completely skipped the Intel 14th generation CPU systems, as the 5690 is the new “Series 1” Ultra processors.
