A new, thinner XPS 13 is also coming later this year.

What are you on about? I've been running a 9370 for 7 years, only replaced the battery last year and now I'm back at 8 hours. I changed the cooling paste just the other week. Best laptop I've ever owned, the only thing I'd want is a larger trackpad. There's just a small amount of coil whine so I might replace the fans if it gets worse.

Keeping in mind I've abused this thing, was in my backback on my two major falls on my eboard. Only bending one of the corners slightly. This thing is a tank and a powerhouse.

Um, I was just sharing my experience with an xps. You have different experience, with a different xps model I'd guess. I'm glad you're happy with it!

I didn't even share the worst part of my experience: when it died it just died, refused to turn on. Immediate brick, no warning. This has happened to quite a few people I found, from frantic searching at the time.

I've bought dell for 20 years but their quality has been falling for the last decade, in my opinion and based on having bought about a dozen (for various people).

Yeah I'd be mad as hell too, I've heard their customer service is pretty terrible as well. I haven't really noticed the quality issues though.
