The XPS13 is garbage. Sure the screen looks cool but at the end of the day it’s still a Dell. The quality is miserable and the support when it breaks is abominable.
Get a thinkpad (x or t series) or Mac, you won’t regret it.
Note: Dell if you are reading this I desperately want you to succeed here and provide another viable laptop option.
- prolikewh0a 8y agoNonsense. XPS 13 is a wonderful laptop and their support is fantastic for not having stores placed in every city across the country. I work with Dell Support on a weekly basis, and they're just as good as Lenovo. 2018 models have also fixed any and all coil whine that was apparent on some older XPS 13's. It also works near flawlessly with almost any distro of Linux right out of the box, Lenovo's and Macs do not work nearly as well with Linux. I have a really hard time picking out issues with the XPS 13 other than normal failures at around the same failure rate as both Macs and Lenovo laptops.

- kabdib 8y agoI'm using an older Macbook Pro and an XPS-13 running Ubuntu these days. The XPS is fine; the trackpad isn't as good as the one on the Mac, nor is the UI as well done, but on the whole I have no complaints and certainly wouldn't classify it as "garbage".
- timrichard 8y agoNo complaints about the build quality of my XPS13. Runs beautifully, too. Prior to that my Linux machine was a Thinkpad X60.
