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.
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.
Tried to find information on the Dell Latitudes you mentioned, but could only find dual-core ones offered. (No Thunderbolt 3 until Winter 2016 they state)

I would gather that power supply would only support a dual-core CPU - not a quad-core.
Looking for a quad-core (of any size smaller than 15") that has a (real) docking station connector and supports more than 32GB RAM with 2 HD capacity - not the new Thunderbolt type, which you have to plug-in, instead of just setting down the laptop on a docking station and it's done. Anyone?
