Please add the info about the battery charging speed!
Mine charges 50% in half an hour and 80% in 1 hour. That's pretty impressive for a gigantic 97 Wh battery!
Btw, the fast charging option in Dell power manager is turned off, so I'm guessing it could charge even faster!

@Ale  Unfortunately, the days have passed for the return, the notebook arrived when I was on vacation, I detected the problem when it was late. I told Dell that if he gives me the same problem, I'll give it back and I want the refund, and they agree.
I hope they are honest.

@Miri - This is why I promised myself never to buy a nvidia based laptop. Ever since they ran that stupid program where they bribed the manufacturers to keep putting in GPUs that they knew were defective. They had the cooling fans set to above 100% which tend to die conveniently right after warranty. I had 3 different laptops fail due to that.

There was a whole class action lawsuit about it, but the end result was terrible! Nvidia bribed our lawyers so the result was that the lawyers made more money than everyone else combined and Nvidia got away with paying less than 10% of what they truly owed (Our 1000k+ laptops were replaced with stinking netbooks). We tried to complain, but our lawyers turned against us and sided with Nividia.

If you still in return period, I would return it rather than take the risk of a repeat. Think about it, it gets such temperatures now, but what will happen in a year when the fans starts performing worse and worse?

Mine reached 100 degrees celsius, even after undervolting and repasting, I asked for replacement. Dell told me that 4% of these XPS 9570 i7s presented overheating problems. They should replace it soon.

Can you evaluate how does it perform in the noise department?

Also, I know it is non standard, but could you make an exception about undervolting and repasting, and tell how much improvement can be gained with those in terms of noise and performance?

These XPS 15 laptops are know for thermal throttling, and youtube and the forums are full of guides on how to undervolt and repaste. Any enthusiast person would consider this right after buying.

BTW, I hate that I have to click on captcha pictures for minutes for every single forum post.

Is it possible to test it with egpu?

You should review the ASUS Vivobook N580GD.  It has the same CPU and a 4k screen, but has 1TB HDD and 16gb optane drive. Would like to see how it compares to the other vivobooks.

A UHD 15-inch screen is dumb.

What a waste of power and performance.

Make sure to disable the "Color Accuracy" in the intel graphics control panel before measuring the color gamut. The color accuracy setting restricts the color space to sRGB.

Judging at the speed, I would believe the i7-8750H, i7-8850H and Xeon reviews of either the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme or ThinkPad P1 would be released sometime after Brexit has officially taken effect on 31 March 2019.

I am very impressed.

But seriously, who cares about the Dell XPS i5 performance when the majority will buy either the i7 and some of the i9?

It would be interesting to see how the thermals of the ThinkPad X1 Extreme could be improved and how much faster, cooler or quieter it is against the Dell cousin.

You can be faster than Theresa May, dear NotebooCheck!

Yay, finally!
Looking forward to reading the most detailed review on the internet!

Please post the performance results with the simple undervolt as well, because that's a simple software tweak that most people do, and with the 6 core i7 and i9 CPUs it makes a big performance difference.

It looks like Dell is willing to provide proper display option, unlike Lenovo.
