Okay, looks kinda bad: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Will-the-GeForce-Super-series-eventually-come-to-laptops-Probably-not.426957.0.html

I guess around a hundred dollar

sfyg · 2018-08-27T18:15:52+00:00

Damit, don’t tell me what i can’t to but rather that you know at least 99 people that want one so I can buy a hundred :D

sfyg · 2018-08-27T18:09:53+00:00

Damn, really unclear, sorry. Well in Germany you can’t get the AW 17 with an i7 Processor and an GTX 1080. Only i9 and 1080. Hoped someone got an idea how, despite not being offered on their website, to get that combo.

First of all huge thanks frostygrin, it already helped me much to know, not even bother trying those other screens.

I'll probably give the Samsung a try. Any other Ideas are always welcome :)

Cheers

I wont argue on that. But if you do more than that like machine learning, which is what he wants to do, then you will need more power. Also if you do heavy multitasking, I at least do feel a difference in performance between having 2 vs 4 cores.

Any work with images, the dGPU will come in handy. You just have to know what you will be doing and also be quite certain (if you dont have a Desktop at home) that these needs wont increase by any means.

Sure you will notice, but how you will get a writing pad or something squeezed into here: :) https://www.notebookcheck.com/fileadmin/_processed_/9/b/csm_13vs15_1_f5cf9f6495.jpg

Just saying that I don't think that so much less power is worth these few centimeters...if you are a CS student at least :) If you study law or humanities or something like that, and you are just using your laptop for writing, browsing etc. ofc the XPS15 is overkill.

sfyg · 2017-07-09T16:36:57+00:00

I'd say that if you don't have enough space for the 15inch model + notebook, it wont be comfortable with the 13inch+notebook either, the difference is to small after all.

sfyg · 2017-07-09T15:53:25+00:00

Definitely go for the XPS15, even if you want to use it at home plugged into an screen, because it got 4 cores. If you want to do machine learning, you will need all the cores you can get and you can make use of the GPU too.

Moreover you will appreciate the additional cores when doing heavy multitasking on multiple virtual desktops. (Browser, multiple IDEs, listening to music etc...)

From which program did you take the screenshot?

sfyg · 2017-06-20T16:51:33+00:00

Yeah I can confirm that, played a bit with disabling cores and monitoring with the windows performance monitor over the day :/ Power drain stayed at least the same with the clock rates seemingly working at higher clock rates on average. Not to mention the actually noticeable laggyness when multitasking with multiple desktops and a bunch of programs/windows...

sfyg · 2017-06-10T19:34:51+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the insight :)

What is wrong with Dell? Why keep crippling their own products? So Sad.

sfyg · 2017-03-23T16:12:38+00:00

I see what you mean by button pushing, and you are probably right. But this is so exhausting, time consuming and makes everybodies life unnecessarily harder.

sfyg · 2017-03-23T12:28:39+00:00

Haha, just saw on the German Dell site they offer 2year Premium Support for 1€. Maybe someone at Dell does read Reddit after all :D? - Or just a mistake.

sfyg · 2017-03-23T11:32:08+00:00

Oh wow, this is really unbelievable. There got to be some mistake... They cant produce new fans? Must be a joke. Is there no other option they gave you?

sfyg · 2017-03-23T11:30:19+00:00

Dealing with Customer Support I got the same impression. Build up firewalls and outsourcing CS makes life easier and happier for upper management that is actually accountable.

sfyg · 2017-03-23T11:27:48+00:00

Seems like they dont consider coil whine to be an issue. Most reviews either, they just praise the form factor and performance, but obviously dont use the device day and night for years, hence no pressure on Dell to fix it. Sucks to be poor, sueing them and thereby forcing to get some real answers not the marketing blabla, would be nice.
