It sounds nice but it has a lot of issues per Dell website & Amazon reviews. I needed to replace my old XPS which had widely known bluetooth issues, this is basically the XPS successor but still has bluetooth issues... kind of crazy they can't get their stuff together after all these years (cheap/bad parts/poor QC). https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/d...gs_section

It has a Socketed M.2 2230 Wi-Fi Card. So, can't the problem be resolved by simply changing the Wi-Fi card? They normally cost $20-$25 for Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E cards.

I'm not a hardware person but if that works it would resolve that specific issue. But I read through the Dell reviews and there are a lot of issues with the computer which remind me of my multiple old XPS desktops (poor cooling, loud fans, computer freezing, PC runs slow). After decades of Dell I tried a Cyberpower PC the other day and it was infinitely better than any of my Dell XPS desktops (quiet, cool). I'm not sure if I will keep it though I am considering a MSI desktop from Costco (has a better CPU and likely better parts from what I've read).

It may be worth it for $1350 after the 10% off, and even better if you have an extra discount from AmEx or elsewhere.

Definitely not worth it for $1500. Brand new retail RTX 5070 is available for $550, which puts the rest of the PC at $950 (a meh price even for a high-end configuration). An arguably better configuration in that price range is this deal:

ABS Cyclone Aqua Gaming PC: Intel Ultra 7 265KF, RTX 5070, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD $1529.99.
