Hear this, lads? Noise cancelling is now AI too. >:D Damn you, Skynet!
P. S.: who knew that lowering your brightness will lessen time-to-chrage? That's some "wash your hands"-level revelation. I'm getting March 2020 flashbacks.

Honestly these are all features no one wants in their laptop.

Intelligent Audio - Enhances the conferencing experience by eliminating noise, improving the voice tone, and reducing distortion -> No one can hear you on zoom because Dell's background software keeps messing with your gain.

ExpressConnect - Provides bandwidth management and automatic Wi-Fi network switching -> My network keeps randomly disconnecting and the WiFi performance is poor.

ExpressResponse - Improves application startup and overall performance -> "Improves Overall Performance" my apps aren't starting because...

ExpressCharge - Adjusts brightness, CPU speed, and other settings to provide the best autonomy possible, but also improves battery charging -> Automatic brightness that I can't turn off (like the massive complains on the XPS line from Dell).

ExpressSign-in - Detects the user's presence and automatically wakes the system and logs in via Windows Hello, also locking it up when the user walks away -> My laptop keeps waking up in my backpack.

Dell you need to stop wasting money on this crap. I bought one of your XPS laptops and returned it... Wobbly loose trackpad, crackling speakers and waking up randomly and being super hot.

Not a quality product.

Funny. I might agree with some of the above, especially when it comes to automatic(or AI-driven) audio adjustments, but maybe you just got unlucky with your unit. Dell is selling a lot of laptops so obviously there are enough of them facing various issues as well.

Instead of touting about features not ready for the market, I'd rather see the following in 2021 with better, more tactile ThinkPad X1 Extreme-like keyboard:

Dell XPS 13" with AMD Ryzen 7 5800U + 32GB dual channel RAM
Dell XPS 15" with AMD Ryzen 7 5900HS + 32GB + GTX 1160 Ti Max-Q
Dell XPS 17" with AMD Ryzen 7 5900HS + 32GB + RTX 3060 Max-Q

At least a redesign of the ugly and glossy gaming laptops would be nice.
