The Dell XPS 13 looks not too bad http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd

The only Linux Laptop I know that could be sort of compared to a macbook pro. But still from my point of view not even close to the asethetics of a mbpro.

I tried out in the shop XPS 13 and new MBP. Even though XPS is a really nice laptop MBP is nicer looking. I changed in 2006 from Windows to Mac but now I am really struggling to decide if I should go back to Windows with XPS or buy that overpriced MBP.

Make sure you try out Windows 10 for long enough before you really consider such a move. Imho macos is still way smoother... (I have a Mbpro and W10 Desktop and VM)

I switched to the XPS 13 in 2015 after ten years of Apple. In my opinion, the Macs look much much nicer overall. But after getting used to the super thin bezel on the xps 13 screen, sitting in front of an MB feels like working on an archaic machine to me.

It is more than good enough for me.
