I've had the XPS13 for 1,5 years now, came from 10 years Mac, running Linux for the past 4 years or so. Generally I'm very happy with the laptop, build quality is great, linux support is spot on, even slack works decently on Linux these days.

I did get the 4k screen, which is amazing with the touch disabled. Lots of room if you have great eyes.

Couple downsides however: * They must have been drunk when they decided where the camera should go * Huge screen wobble after 6 months, maybe the hinges are just loose and need to be tightened. * Regular charging port doesn't work anymore. USB-C everywhere however.

I'm happy about the laptop, there's faults but I like it a lot more than my previous three MBPs. The X1 carbon looks like an amazing follow up, closely following that.

Also, the new XPS has a virtual longer key travel by using magnets, as a mech keyboard fan, how cool is that?
