> I was assuming that you would also use Linux there - that would also be a better comparison. Not really - I'm comparing what works out of the box on both computers with official support and zero tweaking whatsoever. Even without the XPS13, I'd just as soon get another computer and install Linux on it myself. That way I can choose my own hardware, and I don't have to deal with the annoying Apple keyboards, some of the known Linux issues specific to Apple hardware, and (most importantly), the incredibly irritating delay on the Caps_lock key hardcoded into the firmware (which I believe remains an issue even when running Linux).
