Using good components would certainly help. Instead they're shipping laptops with trash displays, garbage keyboards, and awful trackpads. Apple and Lenovo are the only companies these days shipping anything with decent user-facing components, and even then you have to pay Apple-level prices on the Lenovo hardware to match up. The other big exception is the Asus Zenbook Prime, and again, you're paying for that quality.

The problem with Dell and so many other OEMs is that even when you pay up, they still fall short with those things.

The only place where quality consistently comes through are their high end desktop monitors, but they had better at a grand+ a pop.
