I got an XPS 15 at about the same time. I've always had similar issues, especially with heat. Let me add 2 more:
* Upgrading from win 8.1 to win 10 causes frequent bluescreens unless speedstep is disabled, which leads to massive heat issues. There havn't been any driver updates since, so Dell seem to have no interest in fixing this.
* Random electric shocks where my arms touch the front of the unit while typing. Happens whether plugged in or not. Super annoying.
Overall I honestly can't recommend these. Reasonably good specs and sleek design but flaky construction and too many issues to be worth it. I'll probably get an HP next.
