On the plus side, the work Dell did to make Linux run on the XPS13 has mostly been upstreamed. So Linux installs on the XPS13 without many of the usual dramas.

The major problem I've had isn't with the XPS13 itself, but the spottiness of HiDPI support for multiple-resolution screens (eg, if you give lots of presentations then Linux HiDPI isn't yet for you; or to put it another way, you need Wayland if you are serious about HiDPI and Wayland still breaks some basic things, like running ~/.bash_profile).
