Includes 32GB of memory. CPU clocks are roughly 100 MHz lower than the K variant. All ssd storage for improved performance.
 
Yes, the cpu cooler will handle a K version. But if you want a decent overclock you should be looking at a Dark Rock Pro 4 or NH-D15.
 
Note, the motherboard will not allow (easy) overclocking of a K cpu.

I'm aware of AWS, GCP, and other cloud solutions. The problem with them that I'm constantly changing the model and retraining, having nice GPU which will execute everything fast has a very big impact on my performance. You'll need 12 x V100 if you sure that everything works great and you are trying to scale your model (which I probably won't do because I'm working on research topics, not production ready models).
 
For my day to day work, even if I use AWS with spot servers (without considering their limitations) where the price for K80 is ~$0.20 - $1 is expensive if you consider that I'm going to use the machine for 3-4 years. 

I've faced with the same choice (powerful desktop at home, and I need ultrabook for work and study).  
 
XPS 13 owners, there are some complains about it's manufacturing issues, like dead pixels, dead battery, etc. Do you had something like that? I really don't want to get such issues when I buy my XPS 13, because I'm going to send it oversea and sending back will cost a lot.

EDIT: Items will not be shipped until after September 1st or when all winners reply to Slick - whichever comes first!
