Dell XPS 13 2015 Broadwell Infinity Display Owners Thread

I figure I would start this thread since people will start getting their Dell XPS soon. I have had the Microsoft signature model (low end i5/4gb/128 FullHD) model for a few days now just wanted to give a few thoughts.

Form factor: Love the size of this thing! The weight is just right, it feels a little heavier then some other 13.3 inch but that is because it is more dense It feels very premium and solid.
Battery Life: Definitely not 15 hours more like 9-10 hrs at 50-60% brightness with browsing and occasional youtube videos
Speakers: WHOA! This are amazing for a laptop of this size. Loud, not too much distortion, decent amount of bass. Overall im really impressed
Display: Love the Matte display, absolutely love it! There is some burn in issues (see other thread) but I believe them to be more image retention then burn in because they have gone away and don't appear to be permanent. Still slightly disssapointing, but I guess the battery saves from the IGZO display is worth it.
Keyboard/mouse: Top notch in my opinion. Not Lenovo quality cause its a bit stiff but that will loosen over time.
Webcam: A little awkward people staring at my chin and ceiling but its not too bad if you push the laptop a little farther away.
Performance: Not too much gains from haswell. I downloaded WoW for the heck of it and get similar frame rates but Intel XTU is not supported currently so I can't see if there is any throttling. I cant do any tweaking to really push performance yet such as changing the TDP and undervolting.
Acoustics: Pretty darn quiet, not as quiet as a surface pro 3 but pretty darn close. At full load I would say its quieter then surface pro 3.

Any other questions?
