Does anyone know if they fixed the automatic brightness adjustment that you can't turn off? I have 5th and 6th gen XPS 13s and they both have this awful "feature" where the display readjusts brightness based on how dark/light the colors on the screen are. It's really obnoxious to scroll over a gif on twitter and have your brightness start cycling up and down with the image. Or to highlight a line of code in a text editor and see the screen noticeably dim.

Everything else about these machines is great, but this is a complete show stopper for me. I would happily upgrade to a brand new $2500+ machine, but only if this is fixed.




On xps 13 9360 you can disable adaptive brigthness with an update that is available for windows. On xps 13 9370 you can disable adaptive brightness through bios if your bios is new enough.
