I've had Dell XPS 13 DE for about a month now. Overall I'm very happy with it. It's great to have the power of linux right on the computer, not a SSH-session away. I got the 1080p version cause the battery will last longer. Too bad it also ment I only got 8 gigs or ram.
There's also some rough edges, some of them I could solve.
Touchpad is supersensitive. If you're typing a longer sentence suddenly you could jump out of the input/text-field cause your thumbs touched it. Tweakable, got better with "syndaemon -t -k -i 1.0 -d".
I think the keyboard backlight turned off too quick, tweakable with "echo 5m > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/stop_timeout"
The WLAN doesn't come online as fast as I would like it to after closed screen and sleepmode. Way quicker on my MacBook Pro (2015). Also feels like I have more net-problems when the WLAN-signal is weak when compared to my MacBook Pro. Mosh in a terminal is great for keeping connections from a laptop to servers though.
Bluetooth syncing to wireless speakers and similar isn't as fluid and automatic as from Win 10.
The worst part is a constant lowlevel hissing when using headphones. I haven't been able to solve that yet :/.
But overall I really like the keyboard, the screen, the formfactor and Ubuntu 16.
