I definitely recommend you check out the Dell XPS 15. I just picked one up and it has plenty of ports, an excellent display, and it’s super fast. As an added bonus, the one I got (core i9, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) was $1100 cheaper than the equivalent MacBook Pro.

I am using a 9570 also (same specs as yours) but have an annoying audio issue with crackling/static at random times. Also some coil whine. tbh I don't expect this on a £2000+ machine. I have already had one replacement and I have ordered a new MBP as I don't think I can deal with another replacement from Dell. Have you had any issues with your 9570?

  No issues whatsoever, except the fans get loud when I’m pushing it hard. I blame the i9. Other than that, no problems.

    I am jealous tbh. I have isses with coil whine and audio interference (crackling/popping) in audio.

      Update: I stuck my ear next to the keyboard and I do hear coil whine on it. I actually hadn't heard it before because the fans are usually pushing hard on it (I sit in the Adobe suite most of my day) and I also have it off to the side, on a stand, with an external keyboard/monitor/mouse. I'm not sure if this is something that will bother me in the future. I am sensitive to sound and have misophonia, but I can't hear it unless I literally stick my ear on the keyboard. So this one is still TBD for me, though I appreciate your comment, as it made me check it out more closely. I haven't noticed the audio issues, but there again, I have it using a USB DAC to a receiver with bookshelf speakers, so I really haven't used the speakers at all. And rarely would I--if I'm out and about with it, I have noise-cancelling headphones I take everywhere.

        Well I hope it doesn't get to the point where it bothers you. I also have a hatred of some noises with coil whine being one of them. In my on-going saga with this XPS 15 the space bar has now developed a wobble and is not picking up presses except directly in the centre of the spacebar. I have had enough of this thing. I can't wait to return it.

Thanks for the recommendation. The XPS is one that keeps coming up, so it's definitely a contender. Looking to replace my current MBP within the next 12 months.
