I bought a new Dell a couple of years ago and just after getting it I was sitting beside my wife on the couch. Her macbook had 2 out of 3 wifi bars while my dell had trouble connecting at all. Thankfully they accepted the return and issued a refund without much hassle. I got a Lenovo ThinkPad (T-Series) and it's been rock solid.

I switched to Dell because my Apple MBP was dead-dead and their existing line at the time was garbage according to everyone I knew who got one.

I had the same problem as you with my new Dell. On my own I replaced the Wi-Fi card with an Intel one and it fixed the problems. That said, I had the same battery issues, etc. as the original poster. I don't hate my XPS, but I would not buy again.
