Precision 7730,5530,7530 (Coffee Lake) pre-release

Would 180W work with a 7730 i7 8850h with an entry level dGPU without throttling the CPU?
My typical usage is running a few VMs and Visual Studios connected to one or two external displays.

My m6800 throttles with anything less than 210W

 

I have a 7520... any chance that the 7530 keyboard could be swapped into mine? I despise the missing home/end keys.

 

Maybe, but too early to tell... It looks like the physical layout is the same so a direct swap should be possible... We'll have to wait until units arrive and see if the underside connector are is still the same, and confirm that there are no minor differences that prevent the swap.

 

My comment was based on the photo of the XPS15 2-in-1. I'm less sure that the normal version of the notebook has the improved keyboard. Maybe it's just wishful thinking that Dell would finally fix this simple omission.

The 5530 (standard, not 2-in-1) keyboard does not have dedicated page up or page down keys. (Or home and end keys, for that matter.) You can see the keyboard pretty clearly in this video at around the two-minute mark.

 

Thanks for the useful information and data.
I have a question about the 5530: will it be able to go up to 64Gb of RAM having 2 slots (2x32)?

 

Everything we thought we knew about the P5200 was wrong. Not Max-Q. Not 2048 shaders. This is a big upgrade.

 

Innovator Ashton Kutcher speaks at the conference tomorrow I see.

 

Yep. And Sting plays tomorrow night.

 

A few more pics I took at the booth.
