The XPS 13 was my first laptop! I've had a 2008 XPS 13, 2012 MBA, 2013 MBP (work), 2015 MBP, and 2016 MBP (work). I don't particularly like MacOS but I prefer anything Unix to Windows. I ran Linux on the XPS and the 2012 MBA. When Retina wasn't well supported on Linux, I made the switch to MacOS for development. I miss tinkering with Linux, but grew accustomed to a dev workflow with Mac apps (Tower, nvALT, etc). The reason I stick with Macbooks: they can take a beating. My XPS 13 was falling apart after a few years, and had gone through three (!!!) motherboard replacements (fortunately, under warranty). I've had minimal issues with my Macbooks. I don't know what the state of the current XPS 13's is, but all I care about is "how often is it going to break in the next four years." The touchbar and the ever so fussy butterfly keyboard on the newest MBPs have reopened the possibility of me moving back to a Linux XPS 13. I just wish I could get some kind of update on the durability of that machine.
