I'm using this as my development machine. I thought my company supplied laptop (a Lennovo ThinkPad with 32gb RAM / I7) was a decent machine but to be honest this little XPS13 is a serious piece of kit. The keyboard is a lot smaller (obviously) than the 15 inch Lennovo which has the best keyboard i've used on a laptop, but the XPS keyboard when you need it is nice. I say when you need it because the typical setup will be dock with external monitor / keyboard / mouse. Running multiple editors (VS-Code) and browser tabs not an issue at all. The display when I am using it, mainly for random you-tubing etc. is outstanding. Other reviews stated the speakers were pretty average. I'd argue - previous Dell's and Lennovo's sound pretty poor compared to the speakers on the XPS. In reconditioned form the battery is also pretty decent  - 5-6 hours solid work. So far i'm hugely impressed.
