I have an XPS15 running Ubuntu and it really is a great device. I plan on switching to the XPS13 for my next laptop as I like to have a more portable device and I am sure it will be great.
XPS15 is a really shit device. Almost (every??) all Dell portable products are. Very poor build quality, subpar components unless you spend a LOT maxing then out. Their warranty support is awful, their callcentres are outsourced indian script readers.
Lenovo on the other hand! Fantastic.
I forgot to say why. Have you ever wanted a laptop with the monitors ribbon cable on the OUTSIDE of the case. Say. No. More.
This reads half as a marketing piece by a Dell worried that XPS13 sales are dropping - or is it just me?
Thing that kills the dells is soldered on ram.
Framework is much better than any of these dells and usually cheaper.
Had a Dell XPS 13 for couple of years. Terrible machine. Switched back to Macbook.
