Hi, I have a XPS 13 that came installed with Ubuntu (btw, cheaper than buying with Windoze) which I stripped off and put in Fedora. It weighs only 2.99 pounds. I love it! Only 2 major irritating features: 1. Occassionally, after a period of inactivity, the screen turns dark greyish black with no chance of recovery. I hibernate and wake up and it is back to business. 2. The other major complaint is the two-button mouse cut-out which cannot be made to mimic the middle button of the mouse (at least I have not figured how to do this). And a minor irritant: the design of the Home, PgUp, PgDn, End Buttons (with the arrow keys, but using the Fn button which is on the other -- left -- end of the keyboard) is ludicrous. However, other than this, I am a pretty happy camper. I know that you asked about XPS 15 which has higher resolution (mine is only 1920x1080). One other possibility that I would consider is the Toshiba Kira which has a 2560x1440 resolution but that only comes with an i5 unless you also get a touchscreen (which I could not care less for). HTH.
