i have been think it as well, the think is XPS has more battery life vs 80whr, but thinkpad has 2 ssd pcie slot....and keyboard on X1 way better....

The main advantages of X1 Extreme are less quality issues and hiigher QC. Not specs. Higher capacity doesn't 100% mean more battery life

XPS 15 is plagued with issues - for years. Never recommend it (the iGPU model is still OK but not available in Malaysia). Not to be confused with XPS 15 9575 2 in 1 which is decent but I hate the non-upgradeable RAM and high price

i thought they fix the thermal issue, modifying the flow

Not just thermal issue only...there are way more issues which is unacceptable given its price

This is so true, I'm on the brink of selling my 9570 and get myself a new laptop. The BIOS issue, thermal throttling, fan issues...I had undervolted, repasted new thermal twice. Quite disappointed as I've paid a high price for this, sigh.

Other than the above, everything else is great. The keyboard and touch pad is so good, weight-wise is good, with low profile charging adapter.

But the mechanical-technical side of it, really make me sad.

Thanks for sharing. Finally a user speaks about these issues

Yeah having powerful hardware with good battery life+portability is really a good concept, however X1 Extreme / P1 is just a much better choice (even though it also throttles when both CPU+GPU is under load, it has slightly better thermals and doesn't have VRM throttling)

These XPS legacy problems, you think would carry on? Is the new XPS using the same chassis? (coz it looks like it to me). Meaning, the same issue will most likely going to persist right?

No more DPC issues but other issues remain (according to NBC)

Honestly, Dell really need to redesign the whole thing (7590 is the same chassis with 9570)
