What happened to DELL XPS?

Hi, in the past some mentioned that the Dell XPS series is the Windows version of MacBook Pro. In the past I saw them on local BestBuy and Costco but not anymore. What happened?

Dell XPS series is the Windows version of MacBook Pro.

I've never heard that, and Dell's reputation has ebbed and flowed through the years

Dell has disconinuted the XPS line, which is probably why you cannot find it. Bestbuy and Costco still sells Dell laptops.

In my experience, DELL often stand for low quality at high price.

They used to be good quality at a good price- not anymore and I thin not for quite some time.

I bought my daughter a Dell Inspiron for college, because that's what the college recommended for her major. The laptop felt cheap and had issues from day one. I bought a Thinkpad T14S, last november to replace her dell, everything about the Thinkpad screamed quality. Oddly enough, once we got the problems resolved my daughter didn't want to replace her dell in the middle of the semester - to risky in her mind. Now she has a laptop that won't charge from the included charger and two USB ports don't work. The USB-C drive does work, and that's how she charges it. I'm expecting her to take the thinkpad come August.
