Kaby lake R like i7 8550u. The first quad core intel-U chip
Coffe lake H like i7 8750h. The first six core intel-H chip
Coffe lake U like i7 8669u. The piece of shit U version of coffee lake mobile chip series, (say an upgrade of kaby lake r)
All of them are 8th gen
I dont think you have tried any Alienware laptop in your hand. Specifically the 13inc one. They are pretty portable (but a kind of heavy)
Get a lattitude?
Alienware 13 R3 with Kabylake and 1060. That thing is a tank, would survive if you drop it for sure.
Well build, well material, good keyboard, good specs and fantastic OLED screen. RMA Dell is good well i heard
