I have a Dell XPS 13 provided by my employer.
I don't understand what's so supposedly good about them.
- It won't boot when battery is empty. I literally have to wait for like 10min until it decides I can now use it. Have fun explaining why you are late on your morning meeting after forgetting to charge it over night. You just sit there, looking at your laptop.
- No graphics at all by default, in Debian Buster. Had to install some drivers from Unstable.
- Touchpad is barely acceptable.
- Only a single Jack port on the laptop itself, so you have to bring the whole heap of wires and boxes with you if you want to use a mouse or plug in a USB; so much for a "portable laptop"
- Pointless touch screen. Never used it.
- Sometimes fans are going crazy for absolutely no reason. I think there has to be a mechanical fault, the noise is not something you d expect. It got suddenly better tho, without me taking any action.
Overall, it brings headaches, without any advantage. No way I am getting this for myself.
