Specs are great, if you don't care about the size/weight. Technically a little bit better than the similar Dell Precision 7510 (although I prefer the design and packaging of the Dell, and the prices-as-configured start about the same but go up faster on the Precision.)

I've given up on the idea of one of the workstation models, though. Pricing is so high that I could get a quad-core business notebook, AND a mid-range gaming notebook for what the configuration of the workstations that I'd need to do both jobs would cost. Plus the 130+ watt power brick precludes use on airplanes or in the car, whereas the 65W or 90W brick for a Dell Latitude 5470/5570 or the Lenovo T460p (presumably 90W?) works basically anywhere.

But, I am waiting another year for the Retro ThinkPad
I upgrade often enough that I'm not waiting for that one. I'm just waiting for final pricing on the Lenovo T460p before I decide between that and one of the Latitudes.
