Dell XPS 13 9365 2-in-1

Any good deals on this device with the Wacom pen?

 

7 Months with the 9365:

Dell (and probably Microsoft) have fixed almost everything that annoyed me about this 2-in-1 including adaptive brightness, wifi disconnects after waking from sleep, issues when rotating the device, and other minor things. I have religiously updated drivers and checked every 15 days or so. The Dell update app never finds them all. Other things:

• It still has cable whine. Mostly when plugged in, but occasionally also during multimedia playback on battery.
• Battery life is mediocre. No way it gets 15hrs. More like 6-7 for web browsing.
• Camera FINALLY rotates properly in Skype when in tent mode so you can avoid nostril cam.
• Every 4 - 5 times it sleeps, when it wakes up a huge chunk of battery missing the next day. This is so annoying and there appears to be no pattern as to why.
• The pen is slightly laggy and palm rejection sometimes fails.
• WHY doesn't this wake up when you open the lid OR press a key? You have to use the damn power button which is squishy so it's hard to get physical feedback. The only good thing related to this is Dell released a bios update so that as soon as the power button is pressed Dell light up the keyboard so you know you've actually pressed it. Before you were just guessing.
• Fairly impressed with build quality. It has held together well and the hinge hasn't shown any sign of losing stiffness.
• Battery and SSD are fairly easy to replace.
• So glad I went with the FHD screen both for battery life and I really have never been disappointed in the screen resolution when using it.

Love:

• Laptop size and weight
• Screen versatility, brightness, and edge-to-edge display
• Fanless, so almost dead quiet
• Build quality
• USB-C Charging on either side

Meh:

• Pen
• Takes Dell 4 months to fix major problems with drivers
• Battery - It's not the worst but it isn't great either
• Windows handling laptop to tablet mode could be much better
• Dell's update software sucks
• Collects fingerprints/marks on carbon fiber
• Cable whine
• Would have liked a full size SD slot instead of micro
• Windows in general

Hate:

• Unpredictable battery drain every 4-5 sleep cycles - I don't know if I should blame Microsoft or Dell for this
• Can only wake it up from power button (after extended sleep)
• Power button is squishy with little tactile feedback

 

Thanks for the info!
So is this a worthy purchase ? I wonder if I should get one now or wait for Windows 10S?
