I am also looking for a computer to buy. Looks like the 13 Mac book pro with retina display is a better value for the money.
I found the dell xps 13 very expensive and heard some people with wi-fi issues.
Both Mac book pro and air seem to be close to change so it might be worth to wait for their next version.
I don't know other brands that people use with Linux.
At the moment I am using a Toshiba that I bought very cheap with i3 and 8gb of ram running Ubuntu 16 and everything just works... Damn marketing/consumer instinct making me want to buy a more powerful machine.
