sethish has some comments about the Precision M3800 I think (he mentions Thunderbolt and the 13 only has mDP), but here is a short list:

- Keyboard drivers (phantom keys, double key registers, no registers). Keyboard was basically unusable until kernel 3.19. - Synaptic PS/2 mouse drivers. Like keyboard, mousepad was unusable until 3.19. I still can't use it with tap-to-click because palm detection is so bad. But that is ok for me since press to click is my preferred anyway. - Power management was awful (again until 3.19) - Misc. usability problems - mDP/external display connectivity issues - Suspend/resume issues

Those are just the ones I remember off the top of my head. At this point I think I have a stable machine, but with some quirks...but as a Linux user I sort of expected quirks so they aren't deal breakers for me anymore. Still, I would recommmend M3800 over the 13" DE.

Oh one more:

- Sometimes PS/2 drivers report mouse movements as touch movements (I have touchscreen)...this means using Chrome is impossible since moving the mouse "scrolls" as if you were on a touch screen.
