Sorry, it did not work. Scaling the larger display to a higher value worsens the situation.
Actually, everything was working fine with my Dell Vostro with 1366x768 display with 15.6''. Since, the resolution of both monitors are same, it is not helping me.
For you, the bigger monitor has resolution of 1440p, which is able to capture 1080p XPS screen.
 

thinkpads arent the only good laptops. latitudes and precisions are good too and they are built similarly with thinkpad inheriting IBM's designs.
 
My issue with thinkpads are the hardware choices. Thunderbolt + expresscard would be nice but none have it, choice of laptop with decent battery, IO, specs just arent available with thinkpad especially for an affordable price that even alienware takes the cake on this one even though alienware is not spillproof, it is tougher with very good battery but dell does not sell alienware with IGP anymore for good battery life.
 
So choice wise is  between the precision and thinkpad with i7-8xxxhq because that i7 has 8MB of cache which is good but depends on your use case.
 
Both GPUs arent great in performance, only there because some apps work better on professional gpus.

Serious question: Have you bought a Thinkpad in a while? The quality has been declining. My last Thinkpad was an X201, but the Thinkpad quality came from the Txxx series (a friends' free fell 3 stories and survived fine). The newer ones are basically slightly better than crapware build quality. 
 
While I can't say the XPSs are bad laptops, the Precision laptops are built to a higher standard. This means they will cost more for equivalent 'performance' and often come with special warrantees (like in person maintenance... I can't remember if Dell offers that for their consumer laptops). If the OP needs it on a space shuttle, then they will need something more durable. If they're just going to class for 4 years - an XPS and a solid back pack will do.
