[ FlexSim HC 5.1.0 ]

Does anyone have experience with FlexSimHC and the new Intel HD graphics? I'm looking at the new Dell 13 inch XPS which runs the Intel HD graphics only. I was just wondering if anyone there has experienced they're willing to share.

Thanks,

Tee

Hi @Tee Hiett, we have a Dell XPS 13 in house, and I just tested it with FlexSim HC 5.1.0.

I can confirm that it does a fine job running a sample OR model. Probably not the biggest model ever, but it was decently sized.

With an ultra-portable laptop like this one, you are definitely making trade-offs. It will not give you the same performance as a giant desktop computer with discrete, modern graphics. But in terms of performance per pound and portability, the Dell XPS 13 is a great little machine. It should serve you well for most models.

Thanks, Ben. I was wondering if there have been any comments about the XPS 13 getting hot or being noisy. There have been a few reviews which mention heat or a whining noise as flaws.

It may be that my search goes on :-(...
