Wondering if anyone here is using the new Dell XPS 15 9550 (late 2015 release) laptop for Lightroom/PS and, if so, how the performance is.
I've ordered one with i7-6700HQ , NVIDIA GTX 960M 2GB GDDR5, 512GB PCIe SSD, 16GB 2133Mhz DDR4, delivery is not until early January :(. Will probably upgrade to 32GB ram and 1 TB PCIe SSD when they become more readily available.
I'm hoping to retire my current laptop and desktop systems, using this XPS docked (via TB3 interface) and driving external monitors 80% of the time, and as a laptop on the road 20% of the time.
My main concern is how well the system will perform with lightroom and PS. My current desktop is a i7-4770, GTX 650 Ti, 32GB ram. Looking only at benchmark scores performance should be similar.
Thanks, Dave

I have the late 2014 XPS15 and it flies. I have LR and PS cc installed with Win 10, Office 2013 etc and have no issues.
I think the latest version has a 4K screen, mine has a 3200 x 1800 res screen, very nice it is.
I have the 500MB SSD version with 16GB RAM and I7 processor etc.
No issues with it really, very pleased with it and glad I bought it.

I've got the new XPS 13 on the way. Delivery should be tomorrow.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this laptop performs with LR, PS and C1.
It might then lead me to buy the 15" version!

With the specification you quote, I do not envisage any processing shortfalls. Obviously the critical factor, in terms of its usefulness for photographic work, will be the size and quality of the monitors you connect to it.
