We could go on and on about a lot of nitty-gritty stuff that needs fixing, but overall we'd like the above points addressed in the 2018 XPS 15 9570. Given the rave reviews garnered by the current iteration, prospective buyers will no doubt look forward to the next version in the hope of getting a no-compromise computing experience. Dell should keep this in mind and, apart from better batteries, upgraded CPUs, storage etc., things such as a more reliable BIOS, upward firing speakers, and lesser noise emissions are definitely welcome. It would also be nice to see the option of an Intel Dual Band Wireless AC-8265 WiFi adapter or above in addition to the Killer Wireless AC 1535. While we found the AC 1535 quite good, some users have reported stability problems with certain older routers. Importance, however, should be given to battery quality control and proactive replacement of faulty batteries in the interest of user safety. While it is understood that a thin chassis will bring with it some compromises, CPU native features such as Intel Speed Shift find no reason to be disabled. With respect to Thunderbolt 3, although OEMs can implement either 2 lane or 4 lane configurations, customers would surely not prefer a gimped data transfer rate. If Dell plans to axe all legacy USB ports in the next generation, they better enable at least a couple of USB Type-C ports with full 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 3.
