Some downside with the Ubuntu version:
* the trackpad not deactivated when typing, that's a real pain, have you found a solution?
* the wake up after a suspension will sometimes generate some problems (no wifi etc..)

I haven't had any real problems with waking up from suspension, it only takes a little time sometimes. Disabling and re-enabling the WiFi should work anyway, if you lost your WiFi connection.
That being said, I like the laptop with Fedora and would recommend it.
My main complaint and why I have a macbook air now (even though it is inferior in most respects, I pay for a osx but never booted it) is that I ride alot of trains and the power connector on the Dell landed the machine on the ground a few times when people tripped on my wire. It uses the normal metal tube into hole design. The laptop still works, but it makes me wonder why dell never made a magnetic power connector. My mobile phone has one and it's a Sony/Ericsson.

I like that it's pre-vetted hardware for running Ubuntu/Linux, has very long battery life, and the screen is really a joy to look at.
It's a 13-inch screen crammed into an 11-inch laptop body, so you get a lot of screen real-estated without the full bulkiness.
I also love the lightweight (close to MacBook light here), and the versatility in connectors (a detractor for the MacBook line for me).
In addition, out of the box things like 5GHz ac wifi just works under Linux.
