Dell has 2 XPS 13 options. 1) Great battery life, lousy cpu, nice matte screen, not much ram available. 2) Half the battery life, nice cpu (i7-6560), nice GPU (iris 540), and a 3200x1800 reflective screen that reduces your battery life from 22 hours to 12. The Yoga 710s (sadly with the broken BIOS that prevents linux from installing) is much like the theoretical XPS 13 without the power sucking 3200x1800 display. So I was just looking for a decent laptop, decent build quality, and wanted to avoid the pain/suffering relating to trying to get nvidia working with a laptop that sleeps, switches to the internal intel on battery, and has some stupid system for moving pixels from the nvidia chip through the intel chip to get to the frame buffer.
