Dell XPS 13 (9360) with Debian Sid, works flawlessly. Though some initial setup is required: turning off DBC (.exe available at Dell's support site) and using latest ath10k firmware from github. After that it's a laptop of my dreams ) Light, small, 13" screen in a typical 11" laptop chasis. The only drawback is soldered RAM, I have a 8GB version and Angular's reloader leaked memory, so I had to restart it every few hours.

Other than that, I've dropped it from my height on a tiled floor by accident, it landed on a corner. I've unbent screen part with pliers, and fixed cracked hinge with superglue, soda and steel wires, and that was it. Alternative would be to order a part of the chasis, but it would take too long. During the repair I've also weakened hinge resistance a bit, it was too strong for non-touchscreen version; should have done it from the start I guess.
