Dell Pro Max 14 and 16 are online in Germany. Funny price tag: starting at 121000 € - display currently max 300 nits, hmm. Maybe I'll spend that for a Porsche instead? 😉

It says QHD+ here. I'd expect that to be 2560x1600 not 2560x1440. But I found the other post with 1440p as well. Is there an official announcement page from dell?

Thanks for the CMOS reset info - was worried as well if one had to unplug the CMOS battery for that by disassembling about everything in that laptop.

Should be 16:10 ratio - so I would expect 1920x1200 and 3840x2400 and maybe 2560x1600

Is that from a new leak? URL?

Pulled the trigger on a 7680 - the sales discount was too good and the Dell Max Pro Plus too far away - expected in July vs next week for the 7680.

As Dell is moving to USB-C power plugs, can one get adapters for the current 240W power supply from 7.4mm to USB-C? I have some of those power bricks in different locations, so I don't have to carry them all the time. Will they be waste when switching to the Dell Pro Max? I only found this, which states max 65W The original from Dell does not list Precisions so I guess they are limited to 65W as well.

Yes, my plan before the Pro Max Plus 18 leak was to go with a Precision 7680. So, I guess I will go the patience way...

I wanted to get a new laptop in February when Pro Support for my current 7740 ends. Ah, patience, hate it 😉

Is there any upcoming tech event which Dell could wait for before anouncing the Dell Max Pro laptops?

Just the V CPUs and display with 300 nits - not so interesting - more like Inspiron or Latitude, not Precision

Bit of a disappointment with no 18" version 😞

Trackpad looks nice and big and with a visible area, not hidden like in the current XPS lineups. Keyboard without the touchbar is also better than in the latest XPS laptops. Looks like way more than only USB-C ports, quite similar to my 7740 ports. Only thing I will miss is the power adapter port as it makes the power adapters useless, which I positioned at different spots at work and at home. Maybe some adapters available to make them USB-C plugs? Lets see how big or small the USB-C power adapter will be, when it supports 240W. So, all in all I am looking forward to those new laptops - just early enough to pause me pulling the trigger on a 7680 early next year.

@Mambucho how satisfied are you with your 7680 when it comes to battery runtime and noise/fan activity during different load types?

We are limited to business laptops with support contracts for quick inhouse repairs in case of HW problems in the company. I would like 17" with 16:10 display ratio. Leaned towards an XPS 17 but those are not available in Germany any more. XPS 16 is crap with that new keyboard with touchbar - so I hoped that 7680 might be the next best choice...
