Dell XPS 15 2-in-1 (9575) Laptop Goes Up for Order

[Chino]

The new XPS 15 2-in-1 laptops from Dell employ Intel's 8th generation 'Kaby Lake-G' processors with Radeon RX Vega M GL discrete graphics which features 4GB of HMB2 memory. The entry XPS model comes with an Intel Core i5-8305G processor, 8GB of DDR4-2400MHz memory, and a 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD for storage. It also sports a 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) InfinityEdge anti-reflective touch display with support for Dells' Active Pen Stylus and a full-size, backlit MagLev keyboard. The Intel Core i5-8305G model starts at $1,499.99. The higher-end models, on the other hand, use the more powerful Intel Core i7-8705G processor while conserving the exact FHD display and MagLev keyboard. A 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD serves as the primary storage across all models. The Intel Core i7-8705G with 8GB of memory starts at $1,699.99 and the 16GB variant at $1,799.99. And lastly, the XPS 15 with an Intel Core i7-8705G processor, 16GB of memory, and a 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) goes for $2,199.99.

Dell consistently listed the XPS 15's memory as 'integrated'. After browsing through the service manual, we didn't find a section on replacing or upgrading the memory. Therefore, it's safe to say that the XPS 15 (9575) comes with memory soldered to the PCB. This shouldn't be a let down for most consumers as 16GB of RAM is more than sufficient by today's standards. However, prosumers might want to hold off for now until a 32GB SKU is released.

So, why would Intel go ask its competitor, AMD, whether it could use its GPUs?
Did nVidia piss off by overgreedia yet another partner?

That keyboard pic bothers me. Like an ebay listing with a broken keyboard.

And I can guarantee that laptop was (a) not a 2-in-1 (b) nowhere near as thin and light as this device.

You are paying for the form factor, not the components - that is the same reason Apple devices are so overpriced. Intel is merely trying to get a piece of that pie.

There's review of Hades Canyon on notebookcheck(Intel Nuc with i7-8809G 100W top dog part of kaby lake Gs), if someone is interested. Beats gtx1060 MaxQ in synthetic benchmarks, but is on par with desktop gtx1050ti in gaming benchmarks.

THANKS for the link, I have been waiting to read of a review of this.
