The VAST majority of the complaints and returns are by customers that don't know you need to update past at least the 2nd available bios, and address the insane power limits/turbo ratios and frequencies Dell ships these confirgured to out of the box on both the CPU and GPU. Undervolting GPU (more frequently done on 8th/9th/10th gen Intel CPU) helps immensely as well, as the CPU and GPU share heat pipes. Even a few degree drop on the GPU which doesn't LOOK to be running hot, can bring the hot potato of a CPU back under control.

They offer a retail warranty as if it was new too.

Nevermind seems the OLED screen has same banding and other issues that plague LG and other OLED TVs
Was hoping to use it as temp OLED screen as iphone and other OLED too small and don't want to take chance on larger OLED TV i.e. hassles of having to replace it etc if it has issues. Lot easier to just return 15" laptop
Oh well might just try one anyways to see if OLED as bad as this review says and complaints on Dell forum about it.

Also in this video by Linus of another OLED laptop the colors are all over the place at different brightness apparently because of the way OLED screen designed to keep brightness high.

I think if you are serious about mobility and gaming, you're going to get a laptop for the form factor, and attach your own keyboard/mouse and separate monitor (if possible).
Other than that I think 4k at 15 inch is relatively useless, unless your are gaming within 6 inches of the screen.

60Hz screen kills all the fun in any case though
