To be fair, the new RTX series have closed the gap by huge margins. Oftentimes the equivalent pro version is basically rebranded with the same chip anyway
I have no idea what is that and why will anyone need it. A 6 row with numpad is more than enough.
Everyone want that. However, unless we are going to use all desktop CPUs, it’s simply isn’t a option.
This shouldn’t be difficult. The large chassis can easily house the 13 inch. Yes a lot of space will be empty but I guess it don’t really matter.
My priorities, as a lot of you might actually look for, is dual m.2 slots (or a m.2 and a 2.5 inch). Yes, a single 2TB is more than enough, but redundancy and backup is often overlooked. It’s be so nice to just have the drive inside than to connect one externally (especially when you can true dual-boot from independent drives if you have more than one drive)
In the face of the storage (as mentioned above), even dGPU is not a issue since Intel Xe is actually quite capable (as a iGPU anyway)
Like I said earlier somewhere, I want the 15 inch (and the 17 inch) to be effectively “aircraft carriers”. They hold large amount of planes (storage), have plenty of access port, lots of connectivity (to be fair, 4 port is barely acceptable. But I certainly prefer a ethernet over none) and lots of endurance (in the form of physical durability), and multitask well (2x RAM slots). How fast it goes (e.g. whether it have a dGPU) is not very relevant.
And because it’s these priorities (rather than having a fancy collection of built-in dongles), I also looked at Dell’s offerings and their Latitude 5520 is very powerful in this sense.
