So I am thinking of replacing my Lenovo W530 that has served me well. It is 5 years old, and my recent trip to China has convinced me that a lighter more portable laptop would be nice. I need a laptop that has good performance, to run all the normal programs, plus also Photoshop, Audition, and Premiere Pro. It does not need to do gaming. My W530 has an i7-3720Q processor (Ivy Bridge) and NVIDIA Quadro K1000M along with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics. I have and would continue to use SSD drives. The Lenovo is built like a tank (which is good for durability) but it weighs a good deal (I think 6 something pounds) plus it has a HUGE power brick (that must weigh 3 lbs itself.
Typically my setup is to hook it into a docking station at work and home (i have identical ones) and hook it up to two large monitors. So I need the ability to connect to multiple monitors.
I have started looking at the Dell XPS 15 and 13-inch models. But I am sure there are other options. I would also like to hear from any Dell owners about XPS models.
Any recommendations? @Semper Fidelis ?
