I had the dell xps 13 for a while. At the time, I thought the planets had finally aligned wrt driver support, build quality, and base specs. I was already using ubuntu on workstations and vms, and felt pretty happy with it. In the end, it was small things that caused problems. For the dell xps 13, it was wireless performance. Also, I got the HD screen, which makes certain applications nearly unusable at the small screen dimensions. I went back to a macbook air. I know you're not looking for a macbook, but that ended up being my sweet spot.
