Warn HN: serious keyboard issues with all sorts of Dell laptops

Recently bought a Dell Precision M5510 that comes with Ubuntu preinstalled. Aside from the various linux-specific issues I noticed characters sometimes appearing twice when typing on the keyboard (external keyboard works just fine). A quick search tells me this is an issue with a whole range of Dell laptops; they&#x27;ve been having these problems since at least 2009. The popular XPS 13&#x2F;15 models are also affected. My keyboard has been replaced, to no avail. Now they want me to send it in, but reports on their forums indicate that doesn&#x27;t get it fixed either.<p>This is a warning to all coders&#x2F;fast typists here: stay away from Dell&#x27;s laptops!
