Hi.
First I will look into your I9 vrs Xeon question.
The Intel Core i9-8950HK have a Average CPU Mark of 14767.
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cp ... Hz&id=3246The Intel Core Xeon E-2186M have a Average CPU Mark of 15495.
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cp ... Hz&id=3232It is first time a look into that Xeon E-2186M and I don't know why there is this difference, but wonder if it is because it only is measured with 4 samples?
But the DELL 7730 is very new. I can't nearly find any reviews, prices or other information on it. It is not yet sold by DELL in my country.
What I found is this link:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Precision ... 882.0.htmlIs has a picture with the Specifications of the Dell Precision 7730.
The nVidea Quadro P5200 w/ 16GB GDDR5 is mention. It is using the same graphics chip as the Geforce GTX 1070/1080, but I read often in this forum that the Geforce GTX is faster for Resolve than the Quadro. And it is only using the slow GDDR5 vRam and not the GDDR5X vRam as in the GTX 1080. Only you can tell if you use some of the special functions that need more than 8 GB vRam such as Noise reduction etc.
I don't know if the 4K panel 3840x2160 pixels, IGZO, Sharp is the same panel as used in the previews Dell Precision 7720:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Prec ... 706.0.htmlBut the reviewers don't like it, they write under
Cons
- backlight bleeding at the lower edge
- PWM at low brightness levels
- display should be calibrated for best performance
The reviewers also mention the Toshiba SSD drive and write:
QUOTE:
'Samsung's SSDs, however, perform even better, and would also be a good choice for the high-end workstation.' And I agree.
In the Specifications picture is mention 1TB 7200 RPM and 2TB 5400 RPM hard drives. Make sure to only choose 7200 RPM hard drives for Resolve work.
As I previews wrote it is very new and it is not much news I can find about it. But if you can wait am I sure you can find better mobile workstations in the coming few months.
Here are some other reviews for mobile workstations with the new 6 core Cpu's:

But either Acer or AMD told at Computex if the Vega 56 is with 4GB or 8GB of the fast HBM2 vRam:
