I love their review because they go into very much detail and some of the information is hard to found elsewhere, like real measurements of screen contrast and brightness, the one parameter that already eliminates 95% of laptops every time I look for one, and of loudness.

Thats a review of the 2012 version though, the 2013 haswell version should be much improved.

This is not the haswell/HD screen version though. I'm currently looking for a laptop and it will be either the XPS 13 or a rMBP 13 inches. I'm currently favoring the rMPB a little bit because it seems it get less hot than the XPS. It kinds of scare me when the review says the laptop gets somewhat warm while surfing and I've had really bad experiences with overheating Dell laptops. What's your experience XPS 13 owners ?

  I use and love Apple hardware, but if you're not going to use OS X, does it make sense to pay the price in driver potential wonkiness?

  Never noticed heat in mine, or for that matter, the fan running, except when I compile stuff.
