Did DELL finally put some resources into their Linux software team? I bought a 2015 XPS 13 Developer edition and had a very bad experience with the software. The setup program crashed. And the drivers were bad: wifi slow, suspend/resume sometimes crashed, touchpad would register clicks while I typed, video playback randomly stopped working. I spent about 8 hours researching and finally got it usable. The remaining issues went away gradually over 6 months. After that experience, I believe that DELL doesn't care enough about making a great product to hire good software people, or is incapable of selecting good software people, or doesn't allocate enough money to hire enough software people.
Another problem is that all of the CPUs are 15W TDP. That means they have 1/3 the CPU power of a desktop. They are unsuitable for running heavy VM-based integration tests, video editing, and other things I want to do with my primary computer.
