Agreed. My XPS 13 also has a 1080p Matte display, and I love it more than my old MBP's Retina display.

I know the GP's post is grammatically phrased as an opinion, but I think a lot of its points are more preference-based than implied

It's obviously a question of preference but Linux trackpad drivers (eg libinput) are less capable than Apple's in terms of gesture/palm detection etc.

I haven't noticed much of a difference when using a Mac trackpad, but I am not much of a gesture user, so that's probably why.

Linux UIs tend to encourage much heavier use of keyboard shortcuts, which in some sense makes up for it.

Drivers are (usually) fine these days, it's the higher parts of the stack (toolkits, DEs and applications) that have neglected their touchpad driver support on GNU/Linux.

I have to disagree. I used to have a MacBook and the XPs 13s keyboard and mouse are not very enjoyable to use. They are fine, but I have considered getting a new computer for the last year because of it
