Sentiment Score 73%The Dell Precision 7540 is the very definition of a high-end laptop workstation. With a vibrant 4K display, it excels with all kinds of work. The 720p webcam is affixed front and center in the top bezel. While the webcam technically performs without issue, the quality of the photos and videos taken using the camera are grainy.

Any of the three leading 15.6-inch mobile workstations will serve you well—in fact, superbly.
