Got a replacement Dell 16" precision for my old one which died just out of warranty. Dell somehow made it even bigger and heavier, which is impressive. It's like billet steel.
And while you don't *need* an OEM install from the factory, some of the newer ones have some very picky hardware. The XPS 13 9340 we tried only had camera support with some Dell PPA enabled and Ubuntu 22.04. Upgrading to 24.04 broke it again.
I don't think I ever got it working in Arch. It's just a camera, but still. Supposed to be fixed in 6.10.* But it ain't.
As it's work purchased it has to have certain things installed, which limits distros. Annoying but that's the situation.
Their configurator didn't allow linux without some insanely expensive spec, so I will probably throw a distro on there as soon as I have time
