- Yes, 12th Gen.
- We had some in the first batch, I think it’s been 3 months now.
- They are docked most of the time using dell thunderbolt docks attached to 2 x 4k monitors; battery life is absolutely fine for our use which is going into meeting rooms with them - but we don’t have people doing extensive work away from power. Essentially they are desktop replacements for most people.
- We fitted them all with 64gb ram (over kill but minimal cost to do so) and 1tb ssd.
- No one has mentioned screen glare/reflection, I personally don’t use the screen a huge amount but a lot of people do using it as well as docked monitors and no one has mentioned anything to me about that. People like the aspect ratio.
- We default fit 2xusb-c, 1xusb-a and HDMI - when docked people just use usb-c dock cable, a bunch of people have logitech dongles in usb-a port. We were initially going to use displayport options but in the end bought the docks.
- Only “issue” raised is a) fans can be a bit noisy, we’ve bought a couple of “lifters” to take the laptop off the desk a little and that helps - this is only really an issue when doing heavy video stuff and b) some people miss lack of touch screen they had on previous laptops.
