MacBookAir 13 is still better for the same money. You can run Ubuntu on that 
too - I believe that is what Linus himself does.

Sad to see that the XPS13 with Linux is actually more expensive than Windows.

If open source spirit is important, something like www.system76.com and friends 
seems better.

Anyway, this is seriously off topic ;-)

BTW, Enterprise Pharo Smalltalk should be good on all platforms - it actually 
already is !
