Dell XPS 17 9700 promotional image slips out

[Ttaskmaster]

Super secret image accidentally slips out.... and it..... it looks like.... a laptop.
Wow, I can see why they'd want this kept under wraps.

Our work machines are Dell. Mine is a Precision 3530 with an i7 8850H and 32GB of RAM, but I'm special and get a fancy one. Everyone else has a 13" one for easy portable hotdesking.
I presume these are actually cheaper than any AMD option, though. We don't buy anything unless it's cheap... or unless the supplier is a mate of the CEO!!

Until they offer configurations with AMD CPUs too, I can't see the appeal of choosing Dell (and similar OEMs') systems in the current environment where AMD offers serious performance and better value.

and don't forget amd offers instability, and over heating procs.

Not sure where you got that from, as I would consider AMD to be very stable, with no overheating issues.

I agree, AMD is a different processor entirely these days

Who's got a job now? Again good luck finding customers as I predicted?

Who's got a job now??? As I predicted who's going to buy one?

By 'current environment' I was referring on this particular occasion to the Zen 2 architecture's existence, providing a lot of performance, including in laptops with their new 4000 series mobile Ryzens (judging from a Linux Tech Tips video recently for the latter).

As for the effect the lockdown is having on the ability of people to buy, there will still be some people buying now (other than the obvious work-from-home orders), even it's likely a lot less than in normal times, and after things get back to normal there will probably be an increase in demand again.
