    Hi everyone,

    I'm a former owner of an XPS 13 Broadwell, and I ended in selling it after 1 complete change of the device (extremely noisy fan + missing screws) and THREE consecutive changes of motherboard (sudden death / random beeps at startup / random freezes) ....
    I want to believe that Dell as resolved some problem with this new generation, but before considering spending a lot of money again on one of this machines, I want to have a clear idea of their reliability.
    I'm speaking here of hardware issues, so "scrolling in chrome", "battery life expectations" or "scalling issues" are irrelevant here.

    Thank you everyone for your participation !
