I've had three generations of the XPS 13. The first I had had a few issues, but fixable. (Even though I agree, this shouldn't even have occurred) The second one was flawless. The last one was worse than the first and it's my last.

I've set my sights on Lenovo now. X1 Carbon is supposed to be really good for Linux and you can buy it with Ubuntu or no OS installed.

I returned my X1 Carbon due to unsolvable audio latency/jitter issues on Windows. Out of the box, just watching YouTube was impossible.

The Carbon had its share of issues

The latest BIOS supposedly fixes most of them

I hate x1 carbons with windows. The t series has been much better but I think carbones are ok with ubuntu.
