I've had two different models of the XPS 13, and an X1 Carbon in between. I'm planning to buy the new XPS 13 to upgrade my current one. The X1 Carbon is okay, but the build quality just isn't the same, and once you're used to typing on a 4K screen, it's hard to go back. The new X1 Carbon models also have higher resolution screens, but to get that you have to sacrifice the keyboard (the new keyboard layouts are awful). On top of that, Dell puts a lot of active effort into making sure all the drivers work flawlessly out of the box. That's why the Developer Edition ships with a different wireless card from the Windows version - fittingly, I've never once had the WiFi drop on me using my XPS 13 from 2015. I can't say the same about the Carbon.
