There are major problems that are in this generation that were not fixed in the previous generation. One is that the audio device will randomly stop working and you need to reset it from the UEFI. Another is that if you use Linux, then the screen will randomly stop working until you go into sleep mode. This problem has existed since the 2015 February edition.

I'm waiting for one that I bought off dell outlet to get here. There seem to be people complaining about different issues with it, but that's usually the case for everything. So just make sure you buy it from a reputable seller that has a good return policy.

All the old problems are still there. Do not get one

You can get one at your local Microsoft store if you think the audio and screen randomly turning off until you reboot is no issue for you. Also, 30 days was not long enough for me to find all of the issues. I had assumed the problems were the fault of Window and Linux until I searched deep into computer forums and found out how long standing the issues were.

I actually just returned one of these. It shipped with a fucked up BIOS, according to them.

I'm not a Linux diehard, I run Mint/Ubuntu and forks... As well as Windows. This computer literally does not even work.

I got full refund after cussing at Pajeet enough.

Mine is coming in on Monday, I'm prepared for it to be shit. I know these laptops are amazing when everything works, but a majority of posts I read on the internet are about how someone got a bad or defective unit.

Does this thing still have that terrible battery problem that I remember from before where its usable lifespan was rated at like 300 charge cycles or something like that?

>>53665066
It still does iirc
Dell describes it as having 300 charge cycles before starts to lose life
I know the battery is replaceable

Seriously considering getting an XPS 15, slightly off out by all the hardware issues people are reporting but it seems like such a beautiful laptop. Can't seem to find any others that are quite as good as it, shame about Dell's inability to build computers.
