my work laptop is a thinkpad t15p. it's okay overall but lenovo's approach to dock power is bullshit, they either can't or won't shove enough power down the USB-C cable to run and charge the drat thing, so even when plugged into a dock you have to have a separate power connector plugged in, or you have to buy the really big and expensive dock that basically just binds the two cables together so i've got three loving power adapters for this goddamn laptop, two for my home dock setup, and one that lives in the bag when i need to take the laptop with me. dogshit trash design. also it doesn't take much CPU load for the fans to start spinning up. but from what i've heard at work it sounds like the dell users get bit by that too. Tankakern posted:it's kinda absurd, but microsoft makes good hardware we've got both surfaces and dells at work and the surfaces have always had more finicky bullshit problems than the dells despite having at least four times as many dells as surfaces. just stupid bullshit like it going to sleep and not wanting to wake up and having to do some arcane volume/power key combo to reset it. or sometimes occasional display artifacting. i got the impression that a lot of these are basically firmware issues, so i guess that confirms what you're saying about good hardware, bad software

lol. dell did the right thing and just violated the power delivery spec for usb-c so you only need the one cable.

like most laptops the xps series is improved by resetting windows the first thing you do (big button in control panel, asks if you want it to download a clean image from microsoft, gets you onto the windows update drivers dodging the Realtek garbage that's no doubt causing your issue).
