It's very interesting what is happening right now. We've been saying for years (even us who've always been Intel-Nvidia bois); AMD and Radeon being competitive is better for all of us.
XPS 15 2-in-1 has been announced with this combo. Why is this exciting?
Because we're getting closer and closer to actual Laptops that can be proper machines for professionals and capable at gaming. The Macbook Pros lack of touch display makes it ill suited for creatives (artists, painters, sculptures, architects, retouchers, designers) who benefit from the pen display.
Meanwhile you have countless thin-and-light petty ultrabooks mascarading as actual productivity machines with their 15 watt CPU that has to turbo itself if more than 5 chrome tabs are open at once. Those machines are not good for heavy workloads, and the turbo feels pointless when it overheats and throttle itself after a few minutes.
Gaming machines also lack touch displays dispite having power.
XPS15 2-in-1 and Lenovo Yoga 720 15 are both really interesting hybrid options right now. Gaming laptops need to move past the black-and-red styling in both looks and in its thinking. I'm tired of the big guys like ASUS, Corsair, Lenovo, Dell and Acer reducing gamers to these monolithic morons who like that hyper aggressive styling. Most people who enjoy games also do a whole bunch of other shit on their machine. The focus on making gaming laptops that are ill suited for other tasks needs to stop!
You got the Surface Book 2, but at 3200 dollars for a spec that matters, it's more than an insult.
