Ultrasharp is a semi-premium brand. S is intended for more cost conscious business customers. OTOH last years S2318 looks like it's infinity edge in all but branding (and maybe 1mm in bezel size); and is in the same product family as these. I assume the same is true for other 2018 S series displays but didn't look any of them up.
So I'm assuming the onlything new is that they're using the infinity edge branding more widely.
The U2415 that I'm reading this on (yes, I'm at the office, but at least it's my lunch break :p ) sure looks InfinityEdgy enough for me. Pretty sweet monitor, truth be told, significantly better looking than my old beater U2711 at home. Still kind of miss the extra 240 vertical pixels, but the lack of bezels somehow makes the smaller panel size more palatable. Doesn't really make sense to me, but that's my experience anyhow.
But yeah, this is definitely premium-ish. Non-premium monitors don't come with color calibration certificates in the box.
Sorry, we're rushing to get things done here and some stuff sometimes gets missed. It's WACOM AES 2.0, and it should be 400 nits - that one was a typo.
That would be a good option for someone who can lived with integrated GPU performance but desires higher core count. Most business related applications don't need high end GPU.
Thanks for the previews! I am a little surprised to see the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (7577) go unmentioned. Wirecutter recommends it https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-budget-... -- 15.6 in ", GTX 1060 Max-Q. Did I overlook this in the review?
That model is being replaced by the G3/G5/G7 laptops on page 5. They want to separate it from the rest of the Inspiron 7000 line because it isn't really the same focus.
It does. I have an xps 13 9343 and just this past week i put thermal pads on it and undervolted by 100 mV. The long term load temperature is down 15C. It would be nice if they just did this kind of thermal management themselves. They’re saving, what, five bucks on the BOM by not including thermal pads? Another five bucks and they could do a copper sheet. I’m mostly interested in seeing if they’ve started doing either of those things.
What'd you put pads on? I looked at the Ifixit teardown and it shows thermal grease on the CPU heatsink. A decent grease should perform better than thermal pads, was yours missing grease entirely, or did you add cooling to something else?
Thermal pads between the heat pipe and the case. I also put some thermal pads on the SSD (I put in a 950 pro though I'm not certain if it sees thermal throttling on heavy PCIe 2x loads). I had recently done a regrease (NT-H1) out of necessity when I swapped the SD card board (I did something dumb to break it). I never looked at the temperatures before that point so I can't say how much the regrease did for temperatures. If you search the internet you'll find some reports that match with what I'm saying and have pictures.
I decided to go for the XPS 15 2in1 - I was not sure about Vega graphics - but I will give it a try. I purchase the i7 model with 4K screen and 16G of memory and upgrade the ssd to 512G. It was almost $2500 for this unit.
I really like the technology that they put in this 2in1 - just not sure about graphics on it - but I love the fact that the 2in1 has a PIN with 4096 levels - this should be perfect for graphics on 4k screen. Pin should actually arrive any minute today.
I am going out on limb on this one - it been over a decade since I used AMD graphics - but the EMIB is an impressive design and want to give it a try. Does any body know if the XPS 2in1 can support the 6 monitors that Vega supports and will it support Free Sync.
For code development GPU does not matter unless programming games and such, but I would think most important is to add more memory and make sure everything is SSD if possible.
XPS 15 2in1 has the bandwidth to handle external GPU's - but I not sure since 8 of PCIe channels go to AMD Radeon chip - that external GPU gets full amount. But Thunderbolt should not be the issue since it handles 40G and XPS 15 2in1 has 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports which is nice.
I did find the following site that has interesting information about eGPU
It looks like from other information on the that site - it looks like the XPS 15 2in1 with it 4 lanes of PCIe supports the full range available for eGPU's. So it definetly powerfull enough.
No problem - just receive my XPS 15 2in1 - the 4k screen is simple gorgeous - better looking than my Samsung 4K 7 series TV. But it noisier than my XPS 13 2in1. I think the XPS 13 2in1 would be better for editing documents and surfing Internet. There is probably ways I can tune the XPS 15 2in1 so that less noisy - like probably running at lower speed and not using the discrete graphics which will find for editing documents and light internet usage.
What's the appeal of these new S-series models when you can buy a U2415M for $220 or a U2412M for $160 at Micro Center? Those are 16:10 (and thus have more screen real estate), have a lower price (at least vs the new 24"s), and have more connection options. Other than marginally lower power consumption, I don't see an advantage for these.
And even comparing them to the old 16:9 S models, the S2316M is available for $99 at Micro Center. True, it trades the two HDMIs for a DVI, but for half the price it still seems like a far better deal.
Hi all, I would like to know whether the Inspiron 27" 7777 with the 4K UHD display make available and when? Or Dell has scrap it totally? Current available is the FHD display only ( 1920x1080 ) Al least it can match the AMD version wjhich is having the 4K UHD display.

I must be missing something. Was the page on monitors taken from 2015?Ian Cutress - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
They're being marketed for the office use rather than gaming. They're being marketed as Dell's first office-focused monitors with InfinityEdge.James5mith - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
Wouldn't Dell's first InifintyEdge monitors for office use be the Ultrasharp series from last year?Or even the refresh from this year? http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-ultrasharp-25-...

What active pen technology is it on the XPS 15 2-in-1? Wacom AES? Microsoft's (N-trig)? Amtel? Synaptics? Come on Anandtech!Also, no normal USB ports, a microSD card reader (not full size), and only 100 nits?! Wtf Dell?!

In true Dell fashion they advertise a bunch of options like 6 different screens but have exactly one choice available at launch.Novaguy - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link
The lack of a Ryzen alternative for those AMD AIOs is incredibly dissappointing....GTRagnarok - Tuesday, April 3, 2018 - link

Had 3 AW 17R4s with horrible thermals. Overheated the power delivery on all of them and caused graphics stuttering.Do not buy one of those computers.
