Does it sleep? I was really happy with an earlier Dell XPS (which my daughter still uses), but my newer one is horrible. I always have to do a full shutdown, otherwise if I don't use it for a few days, the BIOS resets and once I even had to remove the CMOS battery.
Between the sleep, the bad mic, fan noise, I think my next one will be a ThinkPad (my 10 year old ThinkPad is still rocking, gave it to other family who just needed a browser).
XPS 13 has a windows sleep issue but not with Ubuntu. But windows sleep issue is with any laptop. Hybernating works perfectly with windows or ubuntu but sleep is difficult.
