1. Heat: Yes it does get hot. However, I have a pad that I put it on so I don't feel it at all and my laptop is safe from overheating. If you put the laptop on your lap, you are going to hate it. If you cover the fans, don't be shocked if it shuts off on you. Having said all this, it perfectly fine for me and not a problem. Some people are complaining about the heat and at the end of the day, if you don't feel it, why should you care?
2. Battery Life: Once again, yes it is bad. But you have three settings. Save battery, balanced, and best performance. Saving battery does a good job of doing just that. Balanced is good but performance will drain battery. Just have your charger and, once again, no biggy. I always take my charger if I'm going out to study. Once again, not a big deal.
Those are the 2 main complaints apparently but for me, it is workable.
Looks: The laptop looks amazing but not as nice as the xps 13 plus. The xps 13 plus gets too hot though so it is definitely one that should probably be avoided.
Performance: Fast and reliable. I don't play games so I can't say anything about that But I wouldn't look into getting this for gaming.
The laptop shuts off fast and turns on fast.
Screen looks great with a nice OLED display but you dont get 120 hz.
Overall, its been amazing, but I honestly feel like it was overpriced by a couple hundred dollars. Regardless, I've gotten alot done on it. If you don't need or want a fancy laptop, then there is no need to get this. Just get something half price that will help you with your work.
