- switch007 8y agoIt's funny how wildly differences can be. My experience (I use a TB16 Dock, F29): - Ethernet device sometimes disappears after resuming - USB devices randomly disconnect - It sometimes gets very confused about displays (e.g. the primary device, rotation) (However, generally, I find undocking/docking more stable than F28) The XPS hardware/build quality is crap: thermal throttling often, coil whine, bendy, noisy, web cam in a stupid place, terrible mic, auto screen dimming that can't be turned off (AFAIK). This is not a lemon: I know companies with XPS fleets. Read Reddit, too. EDIT: I've owned a 2015 rMBP 13" for 2.5 years.
