I have an XPS 15 9560, something like 4 or 5 years old. It's not great, not terrible, bug getting more and more annoying. 1 or 2 years ago, a mandatory major Windows 10 upgrade broke the USB3 port (except 1 time every 10 connection attempts if you are lucky), and also the Wifi does not always resume when waking up, in which case a reboot is needed to recover.
The thermal design and CPU freq selection is also far from perfect given it often throttles during ~10s every few minutes under constant load (sign the CPU freq under load is too high and/or the thermal dissipation is too weak)
The general mechanical hardware quality is also inferior to a MBP. The keyboard marked the screen a little (still tolerable though).
Given the XPS are supposed to be kind of flagships for Dell, I do not recommend Dell if you want a laptop that works and that is not a toy you intend to trash after 2 or 3 years. I wished reviewers talked about typical medium/long-term experience of brands and product ranges.
