Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition (2015). Had to replace the Broadcom WIFI with an Intel one. Works perfectly well with Ubuntu 15.10.

Did you replace the wifi card yourself or mail in the whole laptop? Was dell helpful diagnosing this, and what was your general impression of their committment to linux support?

I replaced it myself. Actually, I didn't bother to ask Dell for support ;-)

Regarding their general commitment to linux support: frankly, I don't know. Everything just worked out of the box (besides the Broadcom WIFI, which gave me a hard time), so I have not spent much time to investigate this further.

What's the battery life you get?

About 6 hours of heavy use.
