    This refers to the XPS15 and not the Precision, correct?

    Ah yes indeed, I was a bit confused with the model numbers. Nevertheless, just for reference.

    Other things that make this look better than the 5510 are:
    • 3 USB 3.0
    • Iris Pro CPU option in 2016: Esp nice for Linux (where Optimus sucks)
    • Home, End, PgUp, & PgDn keys on right (but this shifts touchpad and main keyboard off center slightly)
    • Webcam on top where it belongs (but lose out on size and slim bezel)
    Downsides could be battery life (only 64Wh battery), size, weight (?), and probably cost. Personally, I'm waiting to see how these compare once they are both out and we know more about the problems and quality.

    ExParrot; the Lenovo P50 is also a match then, but the reason I keep eyeballing the Dell for its mobility. I sooooo wan't a 14"
    Their W550s has no specs near these guys
    Edit: Also I don't see anyone else claming 100% AdobeRGB (Maybe someone has tried to confirm this on the XPS15?)

    ZBook Studio supports Adobe RGB with DreamColor option. I don't think P50 compares...much heavier and thicker - its more close to the new Dell 7510 and ZBook 15.

    I think im leaning towards ZBook Studio because of dual NVMe drives and dual Thunderbolt 3.

    Interesting Apple MacBook Pro just refreshed this year and no skylake offering...

    Hah, now this one is interesting. Having a fully usable keyboard is a big plus for those few freaks among us who still use computers to produce content. You know, the kind of people Dell is clearly not interested in.

    Can someone confirm the following if possible:

    - Is the 4K EIZO display any different to that of the XPS 15? The UK website doesn't seem to indicate it's a touch scree on the precision?
    - The Precision seems to host a larger battery than the XPS15, at 91 whr vs 84 whr. Wonder why that is
    - Other than the CPU/GPU, any other hardware differences between the two I should be aware of?

    Thanks
