One of my biggest pet peeves about the XPS is if you purchase the Dell D1000 or D3100 docking station, you need to have the laptop opened to power on and usage of the "docking station" doesnt even have a power button, and doesnt charge while connected via USB. In fact you require a separate power source for the laptop also. So really its just a USB dock like any other 3rd party dock. We're also having issues when going from a 4K display to 1080p where you need to restart/logout the system for those video configurations to change.
The Lenovo T series laptops come with a seamless snap in dock. It does the job right. We dont have much issues with these laptops. I myself use a Thinkpad Yoga, and its my favorite.
I recommend purchasing the onsite warranty if you haven't for either brand, whichever you choose to go with. It takes a minimum 5 days of service if you have to send the notebook to the service depot. IMO that's too long for a work notebook.

They've fixed that with the current models. They have Thunderbolt and usbc docks that charge and connect over a single cable as well as a built in power button. Still got some lingering driver issues but it's there.
