I would recommend strongly to not buy Dell laptops. The quality of the laptops are very bad. I bought a XPS 15 two years ago for around €2000 and the screen isn’t working anymore. The laptop hasn’t moved from my desk. Look at the support pages, there’s so many issues with no resolutions.

Current issues:

Screen distorted - Have to use external monitor

Laptop randomly freezes for 30s - Great for meetings

Bluetooth randomly disconnects all devices

WiFi randomly disconnects

I would recommend strongly to buy Dell laptops. The quality of the laptops is very good. I bought a XPS 13 four years ago for around $1000 and everything still works great. The laptop has come along during international travel.
Agreed. Do not buy Dell. You'll find hundreds of people with the same problem on support boards, but if you call support they will act like you're the first one ever to have a problem.

Happened to me with the battery swelling issue on the 2016 model. I would never buy another Dell after that experience.

The roughly dozen XPS13 we bought for work are mostly fine. And support has been great on the ones that were not.
