Dell Ships Super Powerful Ubuntu Linux Laptops

7720 with the 17" 4K + 64gb RAM + SSD + GPU please.
-
Id rather have the new Precision models in a couple weeks. But these laptops are very nice as well.
-
I'm happy with my Latitude.

The E7470 I have is quite good - nearly the platonic ideal of laptop.
If it had been ordered with a 1080P screen it would be magnificent.
It's only real drawback is battery life when doing intensive tasks.
For bonus points they could have used NVME M2 SSD instead of SATA

I have an e7270 and I love it. 1080p screen and a nice size.
The i7 in it is pretty fast.

i7 6650U? That's the one I've got - it's pretty zippy but clearly designed for low power. My old desktop AMD 8 core would eat it for breakfast in anything intensive.

- Oh ya it's not a workhorse. I was just surprised at it being that fast for the power.

I'm not sure which i7 I have but it works great.

Your ROG definitely has a better one.

Oh I see. Might be why my battery life is so bad.
But more likely it's because of Linux.

Linux and the full CPU and the massive GPU. And the dual drives.

Ya I've got a low power CPU with a single m.2 and using a tuned profile.
