I have an old XPS from 7 years ago. Battery had to be replaced 4 times, and the build quality is shit. It also overheats and throttles really easily. Has that changed with newer models?

I have an XPS 13 9310. I think the build quality is fine. The battery has never been replaced but it might be time:

  $ upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 | grep energy-full
    energy-full:         33.5388 Wh
    energy-full-design:  50.9732 Wh
