I got two, now older generations and had problems:

- display dims when using dark themes. Had to use a sketchy unofficial leaked firmware patch to fix it.

- bluetooth + wifi not working

- changed chipset, now bluetooth only working when I activate/deactivate it once after startup

- after 2.5 years or so the battery of one bloated (got free replacement, quite nice to have the battery refreshed actually)

- bluescreens

- the dock... I had my display not turning back on when disconnecting, USB stopping to work after disconnecting, slight electric shocks from one even. Oh and the USB-c dock blocks your only usb-c slot and does not have any usb-c hub.

- I blew a speaker in week 2 (don't EQ it, neither yourself, nor with the dell eq stuff)

- the case screws are tiny. I was afraid I put one in at an angle, another one got lost because I didn't have any locktight.

Other than that very nice machines... I also now people without any of these problems.
