Intel's professional-grade Xeon processors are no longer confined to fancy workstations (http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/23/apple-mac-pro-review-2013/) or quiet data centers. The chip designer has unveiled (http://blogs.intel.com/technology/2015/08/bringing-intel-xeon-to-notebook-pcs/) its first-ever Xeon processor family for laptops, the E3-1500M v5. The Skylake (http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/05/intel-skylake-desktop-enthusiast-cpus/)-based part is meant to deliver the kind of heavy lifting that you'd want as a pro (such as rendering 3D models or crunching big data sets) while giving you a laptop that's still thin and light enough to carry around. It has Xeon mainstays like error-correcting memory and remote management, but it also rolls in support for brand new features that any self-respecting techie would like, such as the new Thunderbolt 3 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/06/02/thunderbolt-3-usb-c/) connector. If you want, you can drive dual 4K displays, USB-C devices and more from a single port.
