Dell Ships Super Powerful Ubuntu Linux Laptops
-
Dell is shipping new 15" and 17" super powerful Ubuntu-powered laptops. The laptops use the LTS release, rather than the faster "every six month" releases, probably for driver testing reasons. These laptops offer some impressive specs.
-
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.
