I have an top end XPS 15 and XPS 13 for personal use and a top end Macbook for work. The Dell XPS's have some weird Linux issues with the headphones and touchpad using Ubuntu 16.10 which probably will get straightened out at some point as more people use them. Its irritating but other than that I love them. Bout 5ish hours battery on both on Ubuntu.

In my experience Dell has had bad quality control, so if you don't want to risk sending computers back and forth to get it fixed, I'd consider buying the Thinkpad instead. Also note that the XPS 13 matte has a weird dynamic brightness that cannot be deactivated and has had multiple keyboard issues reported on reddit
