I've had the XPS 13 for almost a year now for home use and it's been great. The form factor is pretty much perfect for me and it looks super sleek. Performance for coding is good, and even some games like Rocket League work pretty well. I had a 13" inch Air previously, and while the Dell trackpad is not quite as good, I much prefer the XPS.

The only downside that should put people off is the coil whine. Mine is thankfully present only when compiling large projects, but some people do report a constant whine. Also, I had to get the larger resolution screen which means you need to scale your desktop to be able to read anything. Another trade off is the 2x TB connection, but apparently it works OK for even external GPUs, something I've considered.

All in all, it's pretty well rounded for it's size and I'd recommend anyone looking for the form factor to consider it.

I got one a few weeks ago and it's great. I love the form factor and it packs some good punch and works great on Ubuntu (17.10). However, the infamous and almost constant "coil whine" is a bummer :-|
