You're welcome.
I own the previous version XPS13 (think I bought it in 2013 or 2014). It's a great piece indeed.
I dont use the Ubuntu version that it ships with (by I like NetrunnerOS, in case any one does not know it: have a look), and in the beginning I had problems with the touchpad. Now I mainly have problem with slightly unstable wifi connection (not toooo bad, but annoying).
Last two things: it makes a bit of funny squeeking noise (condensor screem), and sometimes a keypress fires double.
That said, I really dont need the touch screen -- I rather have one without.
Which one?
I currently have two laptops: one is a recent (less than 3 years old) Dell Latitude 6430u, and the other one is an old Dell XPS 13 (the M1330, from 7 years ago). Of course the recent one is faster and lighter, but I have to say that the XPS still is a very good laptop, as 7 years later it is still able to compete with new ones.
So I don't need a new laptop right now but this new XPS 13 looks very interesting indeed, thanks for the information about the GNU/Linux version :).
