As a longtime MBP user who just bought a Dell XPS 15, it’s the little things I miss. File previews in finder. The seamless trackpad experience without having to write a conf file to modify an open source driver. I don’t exactly miss the UI, but I do miss the consistency of it. After scaling for the 4k hidpi display, I’ve had to recalibrate a lot of microscopically tiny UI elements and a few giant ones. The developer edition laptops aren’t sold in a 15 inch version, which is why I opted to tolerate the Windows factory install. However like other XPS 15 owners, I’ve had a lot of trouble trying to resolve conflicts between Ubuntu and the NVIDIA gpu, which doesn’t seem to be compatible with Canonical’s open source “nouveau” drivers which I think might be enabled by default on 18.04. If you don’t mind the 13 inch display, the developer model might be worth considering in light of the trouble I’ve had trying to seamlessly dual-boot.
