<div>The xps 15 with nvidia is nice, though
it is bigger than I like. That, and they don't put docking
station pads on the xps line. They put those screens on the
latitude line as well I'm noticing, which is better aside from the
intel-only gpu, but no nvidia for latitude it seems.<br>
<br>
I just wish they'd give more love to the people that like small
laptops. I love my 12.5" latitude, but that intel gpu is useless
for anything, and even compositing takes a hit with the cpu.
Boo. Razor puts an nvidia 1070 in their 14 blade that is
marginally larger only by a bit.<br>
<br>
Then again, I used to rock a 3" sony android phone every day for a
few years, and miss it terribly in the age of giant 5-7" phones.
I like small/light.<br>
<br>
Side note, I noticed with either new xps or latitude with kaby
lake arch, those only have 1x m.2 ssd/nvme slot, which is a
problem and disappointment. It does have a dock though on the
latitude model. Embrace cloud, yeah, but I like some local
redundant disk for critical data.<br>
<br>
My older latitude e7240 I upgraded to have 2x msata's in that
works great with software raid, only downside was a lack of a
gsm/lte radio internally for the extra disk. Power-out events
(suspend, power runs out) occasionally cause a resync when it sits
in my travel bag too long, but always recovers/resyncs perfectly
in 2 years of use. In extenuating circumstances, I can/do trust
it with my livelihood. I've dropped it several times, no
problemo.<br>
<br>
Samsung 840 evo msata ssd's ftw in it, every other ssd
2.5/different vendor has failed me. Horribly/sadly.<br>

Shame they still leave only an anemic intel gpu in it, and
no real docking station.<br>
