    Dam shame about coil whine in these xps range.

    • nushydude on 01/11/2016 - 17:34

      Didn't know they had such a problem.

      • dingdong3000 on 01/11/2016 - 17:41

        Type in coil whine xps in google. Many many reports regarding this persistent issue especially with XPS. It's even on these ones so DELL don't give a rats about it to retify the issue.

        • bargain crazy on 01/11/2016 - 17:57

          I thought the 9550 models had the charger brick issue and were provided new chargers to buyers.

        • dingdong3000 on 01/11/2016 - 18:05

          @bargain crazy: Coil whine on charger bricks when xps machines are doing intense workload for all their xps chargers too; not only 9550 models.
          The coil whine i'm on about are near top left corner around keyboard when browsing or general usage.
          I would say 99% of all xps have them. Some say its motherboard and some say design flaw.

          @dingdong3000:

          Considering how many people own one of these, I wouldn't say it's a problem. Seems like a few people experience it, but most get use to it. It's pretty silent from my experience.

          @dingdong3000: More like 99% of XPS owners who complain about coil whine on the internet have it.

          We have two in the family (9350 series) and either it's inaudible or entirely absent.

        • dingdong3000 on 01/11/2016 - 18:21

          @dingdong3000:

          If you buy it now, will Dell replace yours with a brand new unit that has a new motherboard when it releases?

        • dingdong3000 on 01/11/2016 - 19:20

          @lostn: I don't think they'll give you brand new unit. They will replace the motherboard on your existing XPS.

        • lostn on 01/11/2016 - 19:25

          @dingdong3000: I'll wait then.

      • wyrmy on 02/11/2016 - 09:00

        Coil whine can happen in a number of place. For the XPS the common ones are:
        1) Power adaptor
        2) Top left near charging port when plugged in and charging - high pitch buzzing noise
        3) Intel graphics chip. Whine is a lower pitch buzzing sound on screen activity which sounds more similar to an old HDD read/write

        Dell has acknowledged issues 1 and 2 to an extent and attempt part replacements for those units. Issue 3 is actually the biggest one with the most complaints and there is no fix. Dell do not acknowledge this is a problem and will probably tell you they cant hear anything out of the ordinary. It happens on both the 6th gen and 7th gen.

        This is probably the only community thread which got an actual response. Plenty of other threads from other users complaining about the new 9360 as well:

      Rolling out a large batch of these, no whine noticeable in the 5 or 6 I've given out so far.
      Must have been fixed in the 7th gen systems.

      • niner on 01/11/2016 - 18:14

        Nah, a few of the Kaby Lake XPS laptops have this too.

      • dingdong3000 on 01/11/2016 - 18:15

        Mine didn't have them at all until after couple weeks or so. This review http://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-XPS-13-9360-QHD-i5-7200U-N… has pointed out coil whine in system noise section

      • rbaggio on 01/11/2016 - 19:35

        Block at work received his XPS 13 last week.

        Immediately discovered the coil whine problem is evident.

        We've got 4 of the 2015 models here at work, no whine at all and the machines do video editing so they definitely draw the max power

    • niner on 01/11/2016 - 18:10

  • nushydude on 01/11/2016 - 17:33

    Looks like it doesn't have a touch panel though. Shame.

    • xdivino on 01/11/2016 - 18:10

      the QHD touch is nice, each to their own, i prefer battery life over the screen tho i've had one next to me whilst at work from about 930 till leaving doing imaging and software installs all day and battery was still good maybe about 20-25% left

      • BenMHarvey on 02/11/2016 - 14:25

        The QHD isn't really worth the fuss, I have it and personally would give it up without a hesitation

      For $1600? Spend some money cheapo

      • nushydude on 01/11/2016 - 18:56

        It's not $1600 is it? It is a $2200 laptop, with $200 discount and then a 20% discount.

        You can get the last generation model from Microsoft Store for the same price. Slower CPU, but touch screen with 3000x1800 resolution.

        • [Deactivated] on 02/11/2016 - 01:43
          +1

          I bought the QHD version. Trust me, get this one instead. Battery life is about 4.5 hours max. This version is about double that. And at 13.3 inch screen size, 1080p is more than enough. And don't hold your breath on getting the QHD @ 1600. I paid $2123. Lowest I've seen them is the 2k mark.

        • nushydude on 02/11/2016 - 07:30

          @snagseb:

          Isn't there a model with touch and full HD?

      Was about to pull the trigger at the 15% discount on the Dell website right now - thanks for saving me about $140 :)

      Should say that model also has the QHD touchscreen… Brings the battery life down to a meagre 13 hours. Don't know how I'll handle that… I hope i'll be OK! ;)

  • ifonlyiwasyounger on 01/11/2016 - 18:38

    This, or a Thinkpad Carbon when next on sale? Scotty? TA?

    • Zackyis on 01/11/2016 - 19:23
      +6

      I went from the Thinkpad Carbon X1 (the one with the touch strip, i7-4500U i think?) to the previous gen (i7-5500U) Dell xps 13. Both were maxed out specs with touchscreens. So, here is a little comparison from my experience:
      Keyboard: Lenovo wins. Dell XPS isn't bad, but the response and the feel to the Lenovo keys just feel so much better.
      Screen: Dell wins, the main reason I bought it was for the infinity screen.
      Battery Life: 4-5 hours for both? I didn't really notice and increase in battery life from the 5th gen Intel processor.
      Other: Lenovo has a fingerprint reader (it is so useful, totally miss it on my current dell) & also 4G connectivity , though I never used this function).
      Currently, I favor the Lenovo thinkpad series over the Dell XPS. Trying to sell my XPS and go back to Thinkpad. This deal is not good for me as it reduces my XPS value more ><

      • zolinger on 01/11/2016 - 20:12

        They messed up the MBP line. Sure it's great but the price performance ratio is WAY too big. I have no idea who their customer segment is now if not the rich Chinese market. That being said, it is a nice notebook of the future but they really screwed it up if they're expecting users to buy all the adapters needed to fix the peripherals on such as iPhone cables and apple watch cables. What's the joke about the 3.5mm headset/lightning earphones anyway. Apple product line looks fragmented and difficult to synchronize between phone/MBP/iPod

        • Agret on 02/11/2016 - 12:03

          it is a nice notebook of the future

          They put a really crappy keyboard on what is supposed to be a 'pro' machine, I would hate to have to type on this all day at work.

  • lostn on 01/11/2016 - 18:55

    I personally think if you're not going for the QHD+ screen, you may as well get i5 and save some money and battery power.

    EDIT: Only Windows 10 Home. :/

    I have a lot of grievances with W10 that Pro at least somewhat mitigates. You can't use gpedit with Home as far as I know. Not even sure if you can reschedule update installs either.

  • niner on 01/11/2016 - 18:56

    If you want a good Dell laptop that is light (1.8kg), NO COIL whine, has amazing build quality and good battery life then go for a Dell Latitude 14 7000. These are built to withstand all forms of abuse.

    • lostn on 01/11/2016 - 19:03

      Do you know how widespread the coil whine is on XPS?

    • Riczter on 01/11/2016 - 19:06

      lolwut? http://www.dell.com/au/business/p/latitude-e7450-ultrabook/p…
      This is the latitude 14 7000 that came up from a google search.
      Over $4000 for a laptop with only 4GB RAM, only full HD screen and only integrated graphics… So your paying $3000 purely for build quality? I better be able to run over it with my tank… Were you suggesting a different model/price configuration? I agree latitudes are great laptop but $4k is crazy
      Edit: The refurbished one above looks like a good price.

      • niner on 01/11/2016 - 21:15

        Go to the Dell OUtlet and get an 'As New' or 'Refurbished' one. They range from $799 to $1400 (QHD screen, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD)

        They're not really meant to be purchased by normal consumers from the online store at RRP. Most large businesses buy in bulk and pay like $1500 per laptop. The $4000 price tag is just to sway consumers away from the laptop. lol

    • 3200 x 1800 touchscreen
    • 16GB RAM
    • 512GB SSD
    • extra 90 grams

    $2,990 - $600 (CHEERS20) - $272 (TRS) = $2,118.
    So freaking close to getting under the magical $2k mark.

    Aside from the screen quality, both of these machines put the new MBP 13.3" to shame (and 33% cheaper!)

  • joeydee on 01/11/2016 - 20:37

    Had mine for over a year now, nothing to big complain about. The down side of having a touch-screen (extra $500) is that your battery recommended time by Dell will pretty much be cut short, about 4hrs at most from a full charge

    Google is a search engine, if you google "coil whine" you certain will find something there, there could be bad batches out there and ive also encountered loose touch-pad but with good customer service you should be able to get it exchange or refund if its not up to your expectation

    apart from that everyone that along that owns an xps loves it and did get regret a single thing
