I'm currently using a Dell M3800 with Ubuntu 14.04. It works great for software development and 14.04 improved support for high DPI screens.

Dell's Sputnik project seems to have worked out the kinks as I haven't had any problems with hardware support.

Have you been able to successfully use the proprietary NVIDIA drivers? That's the only thing I've had any trouble with at all (on the XPS 15). Otherwise, it's a really great machine.

I used them for a while, but have switched back to the open source ones. I don't do anything that benefits from the proprietary drivers and prefer to use open source.

The XPS 15 is the same machine with a different GPU if you want to save a few $s.
