This explains why my short stint with an XPS 13 and it's dock was nothing but headaches.



The solution to fixing the dock issues (partially) is to swap out the wifi card. The Broadcom card puts out lots of interference (no issues with a Intel AC wireless card).


I returned it and bought a macbook pro.


This is a great example of an Apple-style solution vs a Dell style solution.

Just bought a laptop, and now you need to start hacking it up and changing the wifi-card so it doesn't cause interference to itself? What next, break out the soldering iron and go over all the cold joints?
