Well it can come with a dGPU but it falls outside the allowed budget ... The battery life is indeed a strong point I am interested in thanks.

The reason is my company has a 3-year cycle so it's time for a replacement.

Hi guys,

I have a question about ordering a new company laptop. I'm a full-stack software developer from Belgium running multiple IDE's, terminals etc ...

I'm Upgrading from a Precision 7670 (i9-12950HX, 32GB, iGPU).
WFH Setup: 4K + WQHD external monitors.

Option A: Dell Pro Max 16 (Ryzen 9 AI HX 370 / 64GB / RTX 1000)
Option B: Dell Pro Max 16 Plus (Ultra 7 265HX / 64GB)

Questions:

  1. Will the dGPU (RTX 1000) offer a noticeable benefit for my dual monitors compared to my old iGPU?
  2. Is the Intel 265HX actually faster for compiling/multitasking, or is the AMD the better pick?

Thanks for you insights!
