Just a reminder regarding the Dell XPS. Dell officially supports Linux on these only on the developer editions. The Windows versions differ in things like the Wi-Fi module and are not recommended if you plan to use Linux.

Really? That's odd. Is there a parts sheet that lets you check which module the Windows version uses?

According to ArchWiki[1] the Windows version and Developer editions use Dell DW1560 and Intel 7265 respectively.
