Hastily gets nonexistant wallet out to go buy one
I like how Ubuntu and Red Hat are in the officially supported list of OSes.
Why didn't you go for 64GB ECC DDR4? :P
I couldn't see a smartcard slot on it, and then I learned that the smartcard reader is contactless.
And it supports SD cards up to 2TB in size even.
The GPU only supports 4GB RAM though.

So I just found the order page and have been having a bunch of fun speccing out the most expensive possible device.
After wading through the comedy of
- LINUX/RED HAT Operating Systems are not available with Dell Threat Protection and Endpoint Security Suite option. Please change one of these selections.
- The Operating System you've selected does not support the ENERGY STAR Energy Efficient Option.
- The LINUX Operating System is not compatible with the Processor.
The absolute winner of
- The Operating System you've selected does not support Office Productivity Software.
And the (easily fixed) legacy annoyance of
- The Ubuntu Operating System does not support the Wireless Card you've selected.
I finally reached:
Starting at Price: $8,383.58
Total Savings: $3,005.11
Dell Price: $5,378.47 <-- the actual cost
Niiiiiice.
I added absolutely everything but kept the screen at 1080p (which adds capacitative touch!). So it has 64GB RAM, two 1TB SSDs, a 4GB Quadro M2200, a 3.9GHz Xeon E3, and an IPS display.
I like how vPro can be left unchecked :>
I'm confused why it's still saying Linux is incompatible with the processor though. Why? :(

- bitexploder 9y agoI tried really hard to come up with a need for the extra RAM and failed. Even with a few beefy VMs. Plus ECC is only available up to 32GiB. I kept mine to about 3800 and got all I can use for a long while I think :)
- exikyut 9y agoThat's fair. I open far far too many Chrome tabs and only have 8GB RAM, so I guess I'm very heavily biased. FWIW, I was able to select 64GB ECC DDR4 in the configurator.
