I've been using an X1 Gen 4 w Arch as my daily driver for the past 2 years. It's an extremely reliable machine minus a few annoying KMS/Xorg issues I've encountered -- to be fair though they weren't really "issues", but rather determining whether or not I needed to install/uninstall Intel's video drivers for proper multi-monitor functionality (you do need them installed at the moment with the latest changes in xorg-server-1.20)

While I love the matte screen, 4k will be of way more importance to me in the future -- those KMS/Xorg "issues" wouldn't have been so annoying if I didn't have to deal with fractional scaling via xrandr due to mixed DPIs in multi-monitor setups.

The aesthetics could be a little more fanciful on the X1, but that's subjective. I'm actually planning on getting a new Precision 5530 whenever Dell releases the Developer edition without Windows.
