Have been struggling to find the WD19TB for a good price (they've shot up to crazy prices in the last 2 months second hand). Have seen the older TB16 models for better prices... but would one of those older docks work OK with the XPS 15 9575?
@emardee Yes because the TB16 was Dell's current TB3 dock at the time the XPS 15 9575 was introduced, and the two were compatible, but the TB16 in general got far more than its fair share of complaints about stability and reliability, so I personally wouldn't recommend it.
@emardee You might also try looking for the WD19TBS. It's identical to the TB except that it drops the headset connector because some aspect of the global semiconductor shortage affected production of that connector or the audio chipset that runs it, so Dell dropped it in order to be able to continue producing docks.
There appears to be quite a few K20A001 units being listed as WD19TB on ebay, but I suspect these are actually WD19 180W units being misadvertised. Can anyone confirm if K20A001 units are WD19 or WD19TB ?
What is the difference between K20A001 and 210-ARJD / 210-ARPM? Or are they just regional variations or different naming schemes for the same thing? Are all of those Regulatory models equally valid to hunt for? (I've seen them all for sale recently, albeit the price keep climbing higher and higher at the moment!)

In May of this year (2018), Dell launched the XPS 15 2:1 9575 hybrid laptop powerhouse, a device I have personally been looking forward to for some time. Back in November of last year, Dell invited me and a handful of people to a private event in Austin where among other things, I was able to briefly check out a prototype of what would eventually become the 9575. As a photographer and creator, this laptop seemed to check a lot of important boxes when it came to building my dream laptop, but that was on paper. How well does it work in real-life situations?
When it comes to creating premium products in the laptop space, Dell is certainly one of the industry leaders. While Apple tends to get a lot praise in this area, Dell has been pushing out well designed and built machines for years and the Dell XPS 15 2:1 is no exception.
In terms of ports and card slots, you have plenty of options. On the left side of the laptop, you have two Thunderbolt 3 ports (4) that come with both Power Delivery & DisplayPort. These slots give you access to 4 lanes of PCIe Gen 3, allowing you to plug in an external GPU for more advanced graphical needs. Additionally, you have a MicroSD card reader (5), which should have been a full SD card slot in my opinion, as well as a Battery gauge indicator (6). Hidden near the front of the laptop on the left side is a magnet for the Dell Active Pen to hold it in place. While it does form a pretty strong connection, it can still pop off when sliding the laptop into a messenger bag, which I found out the hard way when I almost lost my pen while traveling through Australia.
Now with all that said, my favorite thing about this XPS 15 is not the beautiful display itself, but the technology that lives underneath it. Dell licensed Wacom pen stylus support with this machine, which allows me to use the optional Dell Active Stylus right on the display itself, which is a pretty big deal! How big?
When of the best things found in the Dell XPS 15 9575 is the Intel i7-8705G Quad Core CPU. Not only is this 8th generation CPU faster than any previous Intel CPUs, but it is backed by 65 watts of power. Why is that important? Many ultrabooks often opt for powerful CPUs that are underpowered, using opting for 27 watt CPUs. This helps the manufacturer not only save battery life but also deal with less heat coming off the CPU. With the Intel i7-8705G, you pretty much have a desktop class Quad Core i7 in this laptop, which means it can handle just about anything you throw at it.
But what about video work? Can it handle transcoding and playing back 4k footage in Adobe Premier? Absolutely! It even handled complicated edits with ease as I moved through my workflow. While the new Intel i9 six-core processors can render videos quicker, the Intel i7-8705G is significantly faster than all previous XPS laptops to date.
With all the power under the hood of the XPS 15 9575, there was bound to be a trade-off. Inside the laptop, you have a battery that is rated for 75 Wh Lithium-Polymer, 6-cell, which is a pretty solid size when compared to its competition. But regardless, there is a lot of technology inside this laptop that it has to power which includes the 4k touch display, AMD Vega GPU, Wacom Pen Stylus Support and the desktop class 47 watt i7 Quad Core CPU.
So how does it fair? Decent, but not spectacular. On average I was able to use the laptop for around 5-6.5hrs of use, which often includes a mix of email, web surfing and photo editing. If I was just going to be processing images, I would count on 3-4 hrs off a single charge as those processes tend to be more power-centric.
To start things off, Dell is no using full recyclable products in its shipping and packaging of its laptops. 25% of this comes from Dell Ocean Plastics initiative to use recycled ocean plastic from places such as Haiti within its shipping materials. The other 75% comes from other recycled elements as well.
While that is good and all, what about the laptop itself? Dell is claiming that 90% of the Dell XPS 15 9575 is fully recyclable and or reusable. This is a pretty big deal as you can see from THIS incredible project photographer Ben Von Wong created earlier this year to highlight the insane amount of waste coming from the computer sector each year.
While these optional accessories at not required to use the Dell XPS 15 9575, I do highly recommend that consider purchasing them as they have saved me many times while out in the field throughout my travels.
This should go without saying by now. What makes the Dell XPS 15 9575 so special is the fact that it has Dell Active Pen Support built right in. To leverage the Wacom technology that dell licensed to use in this device, you will need to purchase this optional pen as it does not come with the laptop. The pen is well built, works great and is a must-have in my opinion.
