I can second that too.

That's me... circa 2012. I'm a '74 model. Good genes.

I've been using Laptops for the last several years. It is relatively slow. This one has 16G ram. I wish it can have more. But from Dell site, I did not see an option for more.

Rest of the spec looks good, but throw in a dedicated SSD for OS and as build drive. "Hybrid" helps but doesn't cut the cheese.

Has anyone used Dell Inspiron 17 7000 Series Touch http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-17-7737/pd?oc=fncwj1904h&model_id=inspiron-17-7737[^] for a dev box? I need a new box. Any suggestions?

I generally use an MSI G70 Steath laptop with all SSD drives (1.5TB) for travel (rollaround computer case), and a Gigabyte Brix Pro attached to the back of a monitor with 1.5TB SSDs for desk top work. Both of which are somewhat pricey.

Any "she" you'd like. Take anything someone says (or part of it) and say "That's what she said." It can sometimes be very hilarious and usually in a sexual way. :-D

I seem to've spoken too soon. Dell's offering at least one model with a 1TB mSATA drive. It's the same approximate size as M.2; but using the slower sata bus instead of (optionally) PCIe. http://anandtech.com/show/8934/dell-updates-ultrabook-thin-m3800-mobile-workstation-with-4k-display[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

I did not find a way to customize a computer on MSI.com. Did you install the SSDs yourself?

The primary (C drive) is already an SSD. I pulled the 1 TB secondary drive and replaced it with the 1 TB SSD myself.
