A thinner Dell XPS 15 notebook could arrive in 2019

Frank Azor already revealed that the Dell XPS 15 9570 will not get any updates by the end of the year. However, when asked about a thinner model, he simply said that he can't comment on announced products and his answer makes us believe that such an update is, in fact, going to arrive the next year.

DELL, hopefully it is going to be 20% thinner, 10% lighter and 30% LOUDER!!!

Who cares? The 9570 in the review had temperatures as high as 55.6C! That is over 10 degrees too hot! How about rather than making it thinner, throw in a larger battery and have it run at 40C instead?

Why does notebookcheck report EVERYTHING about xps? So many articles are about xps. It seems this site is becoming xps fanboy site, just like many other sites for Apple.

I want bigger battery and better speakers! Why do manufacturers go for thin?

Lol, I was going to ask about the review for the i7 version before I read the last paragraph.

Hey guys in the comments, XPS 15 already has the biggest battery allowed, 97Wh. And it's in the media a lot because it's a very good laptop, it probably has the best balance of looks, features and power, and deserves all the attention! Simple as that.

Airline carry capacity is restricted to 100 Wh per lithium-ion battery. Meaning technically OEMs could exceed this limit if they were to create a bridge-battery solution like Lenovo has done with its Thinkpad T5x0 series that went up to 120 Wh.

Hope Dell will see sense to offer a Full HD touch screen option and improve the microphone, speakers and webcam so that I can practically use Cortana for once and quit packing peripherals for every single trip.

This ridiculous race for thinness is against public interest and thus will only butcher their profits.

Best balance = Best in Nothing. It's heavier than lg gram, cannot flip like spectre, weaker than aero15x, and has terrible keyboard because of it's pursuit of thinness. Those who buy xps are people who don't even know what they need. Simple as that.

Um, no

Exactly what we DON'T need. What we NEED is better thermals that don't throttle under full CPU/GPU utilization. I don't think anyone was complaining that the XPS 15 wasn't thin enough.... Just fix the thermal throttling under full load so we can actually use what we paid for, great!

What a useless article. The guy didn't answer any questions and the reporter made a whole load of assumptions.
Waste of time

All the commentators here are either working for Asus or plain dumb people.

The XPS 15, is in fact a reasonably priced MacBook alternative. Even if it is 1.5mm thicker.

I personally prefer light laptops, but still needs a powerhouse to run multiple VM's for development.
Show me one other laptop with a 6-core CPU and a discreet graphic card that weigh less than 4 pounds and cost less then 1400 USD.
for this matter the small size is just a bonus.

The XPS goes on sale pretty often on Dell website which reduce it's price even below 1400 USD

@Harman: The guy in fact pointed out that he can't talk yet about upcoming products, but he did not say that the XPS 15 lineup is at the end of the road. It would have been over the top to assume that the next-gen will be foldable and will have a nuclear power supply, not that it will be thinner and will come next year.
@Um, no: I hear you. That's what I would like from a new laptop as well, among other things.
@Bill: I fully agree with you, except the part where you called the commentators dumb people. ;)

TOTO____

I really wish they would put in a 3:2 display or even a 16:10, especially on the precision 'business' model that has a screen optimized for media consumption instead of extra vertical space for documents, reading websites, etc... The big chin on the bottom of the screen is ridiculous.

Maybe because most other windows notebooks are crap  ::)?

There are rarly any serious MacBook competitions on the market...

I really hope, that Dell will update the XPS line soon.

Users want "decent" performance, great displays, great keyboards, great battery life, and a "laptop" that doesn't fry their legs––otherwise, its not a laptop!
