I own the Dell XPS 15 FHD and have experienced same issues. However, mostly I do not notice them. Have not experienced the random wakeups.
Another issue is the crappy broadcom wifi card that shipped with it. Wifi connection would just randomly disappear and only return after multiple retry/reboot combinations. Replaced it with an intel card and haven't had any problems since.
I do like the laptop but do not believe these problems should exist on a laptop with such a high pricetag.
