    Hi Guys

    I was wondering, if the FHD is any better when it comes to issues such as coil whines and crashes, the two main issues people seem to discuss on this model.

    I have ordered the FHD model, since I like the matte screen, although would have liked the 16 gb option but not available in FHD mode in UK.

    Anyone with the new XPS 13 Kabylake who have the FHD model, what kind of issues are you experiencing?

    I already gave up in the coil whine issue...


    The XPS line has coil whine since the generation before the infity display, so do not expect it to be gone in the kabylake gen...

    I just bought the XPS 13 Kaby Lake FHD version 2 days ago. I haven't experienced any coil whining or crashing. I use the laptop mostly for youtube streaming, note taking and web browsing. I don't do any gaming or video editing on it.

    Configured with 8GB of ram and silver.
