Can you educate me please in the differences between the screens they offer? I'm not really a flat screen guru I'm afraid and would appreciate a primer in how these workstation screens differ, thanks!

If you do not need color accuracy, then it is another matter of course. For me it is no question, that once I start to budget 2K$ or more for a laptop, I will go all the way. Those people having it say the RGB LED displays are the best feature and wont give it up, speaking night and day difference to other displays.Question is if I need that level of accuracy to be honest, I'll be balancing colour from colour charts and I'm shooting documents not skin tones. Stuff like wider gamut isn't actually that important for my uses, especially when on the road where all I want is a screen accurate enough to check what I'm doing on the first frame prior to using it as a template for an entire session. I need a good video card for the programs to use as GPU but super accurate screens, not sure. IPS would be useful though, I have to check if Lenovo offer it. Dell do have good service here, lots of research
Yep, maybe two hours for the DELL. But workstations are all like this. Lenovo has longer life cause the proc speed is reduced when it runs on battery, please check it, I am not really sure.Battery life on the Dell is significantly below the Lenovo, like between half to a third, it's not enough even to keep me going through a flight. QC also seems to be a bit iffy from web reports which is worrying me on such an expensive machine.
