In my opinion the answers are yes to most of your questions. I find the XPS13 to be a replacement for the 11” MacBook Air. It’s almost the same physical size except that you get a 13” 4K screen, a quad core processor, 16Gb RAM and 1TB of storage. The keyboard has a nice feel. The track pad works well now (IMHO) although out of the box I don’t get all the gestures that macOS has. To be honest I can live with two finger scrolling and better keyboard shortcuts than macOS. The only real issues left for me are around mixing HiDPI with 1440p external monitor, some sleep issues and Gnome clunkiness in the latest Ubuntu. Pretty sure those are fixable. Oh and Firefox could definitely make better use of the GPU.
