Me too. The cost performance of the G14 is much better but the ghosting and fan noise are preventing me from being that interesting for now.
There's rumors of a refresh this year with mini LED screen, I believeWait, you mean this one?

I'm fine with that. Even with the terrible webcams in more premium options like the XPS or a Macbook Pro I'd end up using my phone or ipad pro lol.
Headphone jack is there. There's an included USB-C to USB-A and HDMI adapter. Otherwise if you want more you will have to buy them.
I meant about phones and the lack/return of jack port and the whole drama associated with it, sorry. My point is that the pace in which they try to get rid of current/old tech is not really at a good pace.
TBH USB-C isn't bad, while USB-A is on a ton of devices I'm not really near as upset about it as I was the headphone jack on phones. USB-C actually offers a benefit (namely the fast charging, orientation of how you plug it in not mattering, etc.)
Got the 15 for work - upgrading from the 2016 model (which was upgraded from the 2013 model). I wanted the 17 but our Dell rep said I'd have to wait because those aren't available for business customers yet (at least us) for some fucking reason; told me to check the Precision line if I wanted a 17" right away and I definitely didn't want a Precision.

Glad I have a gel pad because with a bigger touchpad, resting your wrists/forearms on this shit while at a desk is even more uncomfortable than the previous model.
Other than that it's beautiful, sturdy, quick and everything I've come to expect from the XPS line. Using WD19 dock, driving a Dell U3415W display and it's working well.
Finally got my XPS 15 laptop earlier this week. It's been a long wait but totally worth it.
Applied dbrand's 3M black dragon skin. It's got a really nice rough textured feel to it.

Backside: red carbon fiber. Looks gaudy when you flip it over like this, but it's not really visible under normal use when faced down (which was the intent :))
Love the large, smooth, and responsive track pad:

Do skins like this affect the laptop's thermals? Does it "trap" more heat?Finally got my XPS 15 laptop earlier this week. It's been a long wait but totally worth it.

Not in my experience. I used the laptop skinless for a couple days to make sure there were no issues, then applied the skin last night. While not scientific at all, I can't discern any difference in terms of thermal dissipation capabilities. FWIW, my previous XPS 15 laptop that I used for 4 years had these skins as well, and it ran flawlessly all these years. Frankly it'd still have worked fine had the battery been replaced, but since this is my work laptop, I was due for an upgrade anyway. Plus the new GeForce 1650 Ti chip was also a significant upgrade coming from a 960M chip.
