Comments
So far the system has been stable and i'm impressed with the improvements Dell has made over previous generations of XPS that suffered from DPC latency issues, i'm coming from an i9 based Precision 3541 and am really enjoying the size and weight difference this system makes to my daily work schedule.
My Precision setup used a WD19TB dock and the eGPU passed through the dock thunderbolt which worked well, however as this system does not require 130W I am able to just direct connect to the eGPU and utilize the USB port on the GPU for peripherals.
