We have a few of these in circulation at my work, and they are awesome laptops. Sleek and aesthetically pleasing design, gorgeous 4k display, touch screen, 1tb SSD, i7, GTX 1050, and 16 gigs of ram. If you could talk your company into it, I'd recommend getting the pro support/extended accidental damage warranty for it too, dealing with Dell's pro support is a pretty pain free process in comparison to other companies, and it covers stupid mistakes like water damage and fall damage.
