About a year ago I was looking to upgrade from my Thinkpad x220 and I ended up with an XPS 13 9360, a year later am comfortable saying it's the best laptop I've ever owned by a long shot. For my personal DD I like to use Arch and I've discovered basically no "linux-y" issues unique to the laptop hardware. Battery life is impressive, usually lasting 8+ hours of web browsing/casual usage with no tweaks (imo usually linux sees a much larger drop off). I'm definitely glad I went with the 1080p version, the PPI is already very high with such a small screen and I think the touchscreen/4K would have been overkill. Build quality is great and the laptop has a super premium feel. I know others have complained about build issues, I guess to them I would just repeat the old adage that you only hear about the people with issues, never from the satisfied users. I would also say that the newer ones with multi-core are probably not worth the premium, if you can get last year's model for a good price then go for it. I got mine for $850 brand new, a few months before the multi-cores were announced. I don't think I really missed anything.
