It runs 12.5 just fine but as you might imagine, pitifully slowly. I've been considering purchasing the latest Dell with the Kaby Lake i7 and the NVIDIA GTX 1050 GPU. I'd sure like to know if anyone is using it with DaVinci Resolve and if so, I'd be delighted to hear your experience.
I have tested Resolve 12.5 on a colleague XPS 7700HQ, GTX 1050 and is usable for editing and light grading in 4k. The problem is the GPU 4 GB Vram that it can be a limit for 4k delivery. I did test also optical flow + some basic grading in 4k and it did work.
Problem with Resolve is that when you it the Vram limit it doesn't render anymore. If it would have had 6 GB Vram would have been a safer investment.
If the primary role of the notebook is mobile editing and grading I would recommended a gaming notebook with a 1070 8 GB Vram, there are some good 15.6 gaming notebook with the new GTX card. For casual editing with light grading you can probably live with the XPS but you could have problem rendering in 4k with heavy grading.
