I was going to shrug off this comment as someone trying to hate, but there is a lot of truth to it.
I prefer Windows to IoS and the XPS to MBP, but the XPS has problems - it does overheat like hell (but Dell's gaming laptops don't, so there is that). But more importantly, the screen randomly dies on random updates for me and a lot of my co-workers. So does the WiFi.
Nonetheless, we had entire teams convert to the XPS after they saw mine.
None of them regretted it...though they all installed Linux and stopped having the screen going dead problems.
