In media editing, some of the most common tasks are also the most resource intensive. Looking at tasks commonly performed in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, we found that the Dell Precision M3800 mobile workstation outperformed the Apple MacBook Pro across the board in rendering and previewing video—saving valuable time by completing the tasks we timed almost 3 minutes faster than the MacBook Pro. The Dell Precision M3800 also delivered a lower surface temperature while running an intensive workload and offered twice the maximum SSD storage capacity. These advantages make the Dell Precision M3800 a better choice for media editors that could benefit from using a mobile workstation for demanding professional applications such as Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
