To accommodate a transaction of a certain size, it had to grow. That's normal. It doesn't autoshrink back down as doing so is generally a really bad idea. There is an autoshrink option but I usually joke that it should be renamed "auto fragment my filesystem". You don't want files constantly

We have some E7440’s that have been excellent but are now starting to have some screen separation near the hinges. (Bit surprising really). Otherwise, love them. So, was thinking about the E7470’s but now thinking XPS 15’s. My eyesight would appreciate the 15 inch screen, and the narrow bezel

Yep, not sure I want a keyboard like the XPS 15 one. It’s a bunch of flat top keys with little travel. I’m now wondering about the new Precision 15 7000. Keyboard looks normal but no pricing on the site. I still also might try to get away with an E7470. Regards, Greg Dr Greg Low 1300SQLSQL
