I don't mind the lack of physical buttons since the haptics seem to be okay on this trackpad[0], but another downside is the 2242-sized SSD on the Z13 model. It's a Gen 4 PCIe, but delivers Gen 3 speeds, as noted by some early reviewers[1]. Seems like 2242 SSDs lack local DRAM, which affects speed according to posts on the Lenovo Community forum. But the fact of the matter is that the XPS 13 Plus is achieving double the speed with regular 2280 SSDs.

Worth noting that the Z13 all black version and the version with integrated LTE are not available in the US.
