You dont look at things like build quality, screen bezel, battery life, or reliability, do you?

Because thats the 4 areas where dell xps blows the rest of the competition away.
Great laptop, huge upgrade in graphics over last year, they have real thunderbolt 3 output speeds, drives and ram are a little faster, and the chip is faster and more efficient. This is the best combo of power portability battery life and looks
I think the TB3 issues remain. Notebookcheck.net did a review of this model and got confirmation from a Dell employee who said there wasn't room on the small motherboard for all 4 lanes, so the only used two.

Am still debating between the FHD and 4k option. I just returned a samsung notebook 9 pro with a 4k pls display that was matte and had poor contrast. I haven't seen any of the xps models in person. The FHD is matte but it isn't as terrible as some of the others I've seen (on youtube videos). However, I still get the ick feeling when there's a dark image and you can clearly see the matte coating on it. It is rated high contrast but I don't know how charcoal-y (because of the matte coating) it will look in dark scenes in person. I want to like the matte FHD screen because of the cheaper price and better battery life, but when I see videos like the mobiletechreview one with the matte display, (the older 9550 version) it just looks so ick. There are no Best Buys near me and even if there were, I've learned that most everything looks significantly worse once I get it indoors at home.

solid deal, but I will only buy this when the price will drop below 800.

in a year maybe?
I am patient...

Either that or a surface Pro... most likely a SP for Black Friday 2018.

but this is a good deal for those who want the relatively latest tech for laptops...

PS: matte screen are the best, I love matte screens.

It'll probably hit that price point as they clear stock next year for the next release of CPU/GPU models. If you aren't in a hurry that's fine.

Yeah, true, I upgraded from a XPS to the HP deal, both computers make me happy.

So far no complaint with HP build quality. Seems pretty solid to me except for some light bleed, which is not too bad at all.

but I'm definitely missing the infinity edge display.
And if you have a quad processor and a 1050 GPU don't expect battery life to stand out.
