I have a 9575 and a 9570, and cooling is the biggest issue I have. They both run extremely hot, and charging the 9570 through the former's 130W USB-C charger causes it to reach temperatures I can only describe as "unsafe".
It doesn't help battery life that some applications I run like Docker for Windows like to enter a permanent CPU usage state that prevents the system from idling and reducing power usage below that high water mark. But since I run a lot of VMs and containers, I don't expect a lot of battery life on either.
The fixed camera placement is probably the biggest feature for me. Oh, and up to 64GB of RAM.
