Pros
Pro Great for graphics-related work
Workstations are mainly used to efficiently run certain types of applications, like 3D Max or AutoCAD. A big differential between a workstation and a consumer type laptop is the graphics card. They are optimized for stability instead of performance, thus it has a lower chance of failing during high workload situations.
The higher-tier hardware of Precision 7710 score 96 frames per second in 3D Max with the SPECviewperf 12 benchmark application, which proves it to be a powerful, mid-to-high range workstation laptop.
Pro Both display options are solid
Two choices are available for the 17 inch screen. Both of which can provide an expressive picture with their available range of colors. They span almost all 100% of the sRGB color space. And both of them have wide viewing angles.
One is an Ultra HD screen with a high brightness of 400 nits. The display can be comfortably used outdoors during daylight but not to the extent of direct sun exposure.
The other one is a Full HD screen. The screen’s brightness is average at 300 nits but is also quite uneven with its distribution. The corners tend to have lower illumination.
Pro Performant enough for modern games
The hardware can be quite powerful so, naturally, the laptop can also be used to play games. It depends upon the configuration, but the top-of-the-line hardware can comfortably run such highly detailed games, like The Witcher 3 at 60 frames per second. But beware that the screen has a larger-than-normal response time which can create ghosting. It is when the pixels cannot transition between colors fast enough thus retaining a slightly delayed image.
