I have a Dell XPS15, running Linux Mint (never even booted the stock Windows OS) and have had nothing but good things to say thus far. It's light, it runs quickly (playing a good bit of Kerbal Space Program with my daughter) and it was relatively cheap (I got mine for $1100 last year). I'd recommend it to absolutely anyone.

I've got a Dell XPS L502X too, running CentOS. I bought it from Dell's outlet over 2 years ago for £583 while the same spec was listed brand new for £1100.

Overall it's a great machine: really like the keyboard, multi-touch mousepad, screen size and resolution.

The only downside is that now I play a lot less Microsoft Flight Simulator since it keeps crashing under wine.
