One of them bloated like a balloon after a few months, and the other one overheated all the time.
I have worked with other powerful laptops and none of them had those issues, which points at Dell not caring too much about quality.
I'm not saying this laptop sucks, but I'd wait for a while before buying it.
Ranging from warranty being voided for placing them in a bag: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28639952
To having to _buy_ access to drivers; Dell support told me I had to pay to get access to the Windows 7 drivers of a Dell laptop I explicitly bought because of the Windows 7 compatibility.
Right now I just will use it to stream videos until it dies. Most of the Dell computers I've purchased in the past 8 years have had major issues just after purchase which conveniently occur just after warranty expires. I got an R13 earlier this year prior to my laptop failures, it's still sitting its box unused for when my 8300 fails.
My previous non-ssd XPS 16 still runs, after 10 years. That's the reason why I once was loyal to the brand.
(Doesn't the XPS have normal crosshead screws? My fairly old one does.)
They're fairly common in some European countries. Here's sets for sale in the UK[1] and Denmark[2], just the first I found. There are larger (T20?) Torx screws in my apartment in very boring places.
