That is rather unfortunate. I have had zero of these problems you describe with my XPS15 laptop and I have had it around 5-6 months now. I hope it will stay that way.
Poor USB-C support (sometimes ethernet died, sometimes screens changed resolutions...). The problem kept changing from BIOS update to BIOS update.
Then the USB-C harware failed: I could use it only if my laptop stayed perfectly still.
Only a few hours of battery life.
Drunk touchpad.
Speakers died after 3 month.
The 2 first points were fixed after years of hit and miss BIOS updates. It felt like beta testing the product.
Tons of complains from many users on Dell forum, with zero help from Dell.
Given the price of the machine, it's a damn shame.
