To quote the venerable Philip J Fry "Shut up and take my money!"

yesterday morning i had finally decided to go with an XPS15 to replace my ailing gen 1 X1 carbon, then they go and announce this, im awfully glad i hadnt pushed the button on the XPS yet, now i just have to wait for them to release it in the UK (then wince at the fact that itll likely cost me upwards of £2000 here in the UK, it may actually be cheaper to fly to the US to get one as they work out at about £1500)

Or we could just write better applications such that I don't need a 64gb RAM laptop in the future to browse the web and play an FPS

I use my laptop to spawn virtual machines for various things: potentially unsafe or otheewise sensitive applications, complete development environments for the projects I am working on for a long time and I don't want to be disturbed by unrelated changes, for testing environments, evaluation, learning.

I could have a workstation but doing this on my laptop saves me the hassle of having multiple environments and makes it portable.

It's not aimed at people browsing the web and playing FSPses though, is it?
