Same. I've got a work Precision 7670 in top spec, literally a £7000(!!!!!) machine, and it overheats within 5 seconds of being under load, the CPU hits 100C and throttles down hard. It's equipped with a 3080Ti but it's the same story - the GPU overheats and throttles down to 200MHz, so anything you play is just a stuttery mess. And it's not surprising - inside it there are 2 heat pipes going to two small fans with only one air outlet. Even my "gaming" MSI laptop with half the spec has much beefier cooling, it can run its 3070Ti under full load indefinitely. Not to mention their £400 thunderbolt docks that work maybe 50% of the time.
Same hardware. Absolute turd. Also the screen on mine is the OLED one which is so reflective I can't see anything on the screen other than my own reflection. Who designed that POS!
What model? I've been pretty happy with Dell machines at work. Happy enough I bought an older model refurb for 200 dollars shipped, which fits the chargers and docks and such I had lying around from work.
5550 - two complete thermal failures. 7670 has blown up two $400 docks, won't charge half the time, blue screens once a week, weighs a ton, gets hotter than satan's nuts.
Wild! I have not at all had any of those issues, and I've had at this point 9 different Dell machines for work or play in the last ~10 years, all laptops. I'm typing this on a Latitude 5421.
Granted - My work has been heavy on memory but light on CPU, so perhaps I'm not applying enough deadly heat.
