This is probably a trivial complaint to some, but after using a Precision 5510 for a while I really wouldn't want to go back to a laptop screen with a wide bezel again. It's up to personal aesthetic choice, mostly, I guess.

edit: It's also unclear whether the SSD in the ZBook is PCIe or not. It isn't stated, so I assume it's not, as PCIe performance is a differentiator.

Yeah, those are real sexy. Only downside is the terrible location of the webcam, I suppose you can use an external, though.

From the quick specs[0], two drives: one PCIe SSD, the second M.2 2280 SATA-3.

Sniff, that's a Maxwell chip not Pascal. But it came out early 2016 so perhaps early 2017 we will see a G4 with Kaby Lake and Pascal quad core. Would be nice.

Is there a substantial difference? This is a development laptop so I only cared about it being able to push enough pixels.

Perhaps there's a difference for gamers?

Largely depends on whether you want 3D performance or not (that's not only for gamers). The performance/watt ratio is significantly higher on Pascal.

Buying a quadro card for gaming is like buying a truck for racing.
