Dell Philippines recently launched the Dell Precision M3800 - their thinnest and lightest 15-inch true mobile workstation along with the Dell PowerEdge T20 - an entry-level uni-processor server at the Craft Rock and Grill at the Fort Strip last January 28, 2014.

The Dell Precision M3800 is a merging of a beautiful ultra-thin form factor design and workstation-class performance, while the Dell PowerEdge T20 enables users to consolidate data and applications from multiple devices into a single server where they can be shared more effectively.


According to Christopher Papa, Country Manager of Dell Philippines, due to the consistent evolution of our workplace, customers are requiring more portable systems without sacrificing performance. They also require a server that will allow them faster data transfers compared to using external storage, cloud storage or email.
