Compatibility with the higher end Dells has been great for me, but the hardware has been a raging dumpster fire in my experience. Monitors randomly turning off and on after the last firmware update, battery randomly deciding it's now at 5% even though seconds ago it said 60% (even after the battery replacement), fans failing and getting super rattly, the battery draining even when plugged into their $300 USB-C/thunderbolt dock I only have because they don't allow charging at >65W with non-Dell thunderbolt docks, etc. This is a $3000 Dell laptop. I'm never, ever buying a Dell laptop or recommending them if I can avoid it. Unfortunately this is my work laptop so any replacement is going to also be a Dell product...

If it weren't for the fact that I have to run Windows-only tooling for my job, I would have requested the Mac in an instant even though I'm generally not a fan of Apple.
