    Dell XPX 15tz is my favorite notebook from dell. It is powerful and beautiful. But why has dell discontinued it?

    I think you mean the XPS 15z. Dell goes one step forward developing new hardware, or needs some more funds to fix the Wi-Fi issue on XPS 15 L521x :), and had to give up to some other Laptops, for instance, the XPs 15z…..

    Did not know the 15z was discontinued. It was just released not that long ago.

    Enclosure nightmare. I purchased 8 of these for my team and all of them have fallen apart. The first thing to go is the cheap silver plastic accent piece that boarders the outer/top edge of the machine. Somehow it peels out, gets caught on things and the tears out all the way around.

    The next common problem was related to the screen. 1080P screen begins to fail and show streaks.

    Bought these originally because they were slim and seemed durable enough.
