In Dell machine from that time (like the XPS 9550) is pretty easy to upgrade the Ram, the storage or replace the battery. On some models you can sacrifice battery life (using a smaller one) for a second ssd.
On some model also the keyboard is pretty easy to replace.

I have a 9560, and I’ve personally replaced the ssd, ram, battery (multiple times, both sizes), ac jack, and wireless adapter, plus redid the thermal paste, this all in the 5 or 6 years that I’ve had it. It’s pretty easy to work on, you just need a Phillips and a few sizes of torx. The official service manual is a huge resource there.
My L15 Thinkpad looks comparable too, though I’ve only done the ram it’s also just a matter of removing some screws.
