The trackpad is unnecessarily big that my hand routinely clicks it when typing. Also, it has driver issues:
- on windows if you move the trackpad quickly and then click, it resets your cursor position -- I've lost work because of this bug: https://imgur.com/a/ibNObJ8
- on linux (tried in fedora) there's an unresolved issue with the kernel driver where randomly the acceleration of the cursor will drop and the cursor movement will have a large amount of lag: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/61...
Physically, out of the box it looks nice but over the course of 2-3 months becomes quite disgusting: it attracts smudges, the speaker grill fill up with dust. It's also heavy.
The plastic housing on the edge of the display is so sharp that when I went to wipe dust off the screen I sliced my finger and started bleeding.
Performance wise, it's okay, but I only get 5 hours in windows (VSCode, Slack, Firefox).
The keyboard is okay, but I prefer the thinkpad keyboards because the delete key isn't offset from a touch power button like the dell.

This is actually part of the Windows Precision Touchpad functionality. I think “it’s a feature, not a bug.” I hate it too, but it’s definitely not exclusive to Dell.

3/10 would not buy again
