I've owned several XPS laptops.

For less than two days each.

All returned. The quality control is a joke and I more wouldn't touch Dell with a bargepole.

One XPS 15 powered off every 5 minutes. One had a high pitched whine. In one I had the keys were loose and not fitted properly. In another the hinge was screwed and another became inexplicably hot at idle to the point it was painful to touch.

When I asked to return these they didn't even care why I was returning them.

I had one with the whine and a trackpad issue together! I returned that crap so fast. I don't know how that whine was left out of all the reviews I had seen. All you had to do to hear it was cause the laptop to turn on its fans.
HA! I forgot i also had a bulged trackpad in one.

How dell makes money out of this is beyond me. Every post to the dell redit is about returning an xps
