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)
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.
