Before this - i had a T470 with i5 ECU --> the new HW is much faster regarding performance. VMs starting in few seconds (on my T470 it took up to 50s to start a VM - maybe because of the i5 ECU). The T470 had also 16GB RAM.Before this - i had a T470 with i5 ECU --> the new HW is much faster regarding performance. VMs starting in few seconds ~10s (on my T470 it took up to 50s to start a VM - maybe because of the i5 ECU). The T470 had also 16GB RAM. **Update** Dont forget to enable auto-start for the clone-sys-usb. Advantage: when Dock is not attached - the clone-sys-usb will not be started (1 error entry at boot-log is visible - because the device is not connected). Thus the clone VM will not run in mobile mode (without Dock). Saving resources.
