The new XPS laptops look beautiful, especially in the graphite color. I'd really like the 16 inch model.
I do have some concerns:
- The function row are touch buttons. Basically like the MacBook Pro 2016 model with the touchbar — that sucks...
- MicroSD instead of fullsize SD-card reader. No idea why... As a photographer not having a fullsize SD-card reader is horrible.
- Soldered ram, so not upgradable. It also makes it near impossible to repair yourself unless very skilled. I certainly am not skilled enough to replace soldered ram.
- Only one SSD-slot. Would really like to have two. One SSD for Linux and the other for Windows. That would have been perfect.
All-in-all, looks good, but horrible for upgradability and repairability. Also, the thermals will probably also suck. That's how it always is with these XPS laptops.
