I have an XPS15 that's almost two years old at this point. It doesn't have the same flaws as an MBP but overall I feel like it may be slightly less durable.
The screen isn't covered with Gorilla Glass and gets marked up the way Macbooks used to. The monitor hinge has a little slack in it and the power connector is a bit loose.
The trackpad has been surprisingly good. The keyboard is decent. I also like the fact that I was able to swap in 32GB of memory and an NVME SSD of the make and model of my choice.
Mine came with a Fujitsu SSD, I think. I swapped in a much larger Samsung 960 Pro. I've ordered several of these for others and they all came with a Samsung OEM unit of equivalent performance.
In summary, the hardware doesn't suck and it runs Linux, which is the best part.
