Nvidia 1060 and 1050? Nice. I assume it is 4GB and 6GB respectively? This really makes it incredibly powerful. I run with dual 4k monitors off of a Dell XPS

This really makes it incredibly powerful. I run with dual 4k monitors off of a Dell XPS with an Nvidia 1050 with 4GB. Feels like a desktop.
(Does this also support 32GB of RAM? That is required for development these days with multiple containers running locally. My Dell XPS 15" supports 32GB of RAM.)
- rayiner 9y agoIt appears to max out at 16GB for the same reason as the rMBP (current Intel processors are limited to 16GB of LPDDR3).
- sitkack 9y agoMany Lenovo Thinkpads and HP ZBooks, the mobile workstation lines, support 64GB of ECC memory when paired with a Xeon. And 64GB of non-ECC when using a Core processor. Hell even the "ultrabook" workstation from HP, the ZBook Studio supports 32GB of ram [0]. One has to trade capacity for speed. 16GB is such a wall now, it makes me think Intel crippled their latest chips because they are too good.

DDR4 trades battery for capacity, that's why "ultrabooks" concerned about the balance of weight and battery life are limited to 16GB: intel does not support lpddr4.
- zeusk 9y agoThey use upTDP (20w~24w). Also, you'd be surprised. Even while gaming, my current surface pro maintains 3.1 GHz and reaches 4.1 on short bursts. Look around the web, if you can keep the surface cool enough, they never PL (power limit) throttle unlike most other Intel -U based devices.
- rayiner 9y agoThose machines are using regular DDR memory, rather than the low-power LPDDR3 memory that the Surface Book and MBP use. The ZBook Studio G3, for example, gets just over half the battery life of the MBP, while weighing 15% more: https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/hp-zbook-studio-g3 https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/hp-zbook-studio-g3.
- masklinn 9y ago> Nvidia 1060 and 1050? Nice. I assume it is 4GB and 6GB respectively? 6 and 2. The 1050/2GB is for the 13", the 1060/6GB for the 15". > Does this also support 32GB of RAM? No, since Intel still only supports LPDDR3.

- SomeHacker44 9y agoWhat I want to know is the TDP limits of each of these. I saw that the 13" had a (39?) small power supply, and the 15" had a 95 (?) W power supply. My Alienware 13R3 has a 180W power supply, of which if I am not mistaken fully half goes to that 1060, and 45W goes to the i7-6xxx quad-core CPU. My guess is that this laptop will have heavy thermal restrictions on the 1060's performance, not to mention a lack of power to actually run it at it's max TDP. I wonder if they're using nVidia's new technology which underclocks/underpowers the GPUs at (their claim of) only modest cost in performance.
