Screen size 13"
Battery life important
Used for: primarily software development, web browsing and other similar tasks.
Aesthetic is important as I work in a professional environment so no laptops that look like bulky gaming laptops.
I don't really play any games so that isn't too important.
Also I will most likely dual boot linux on the machine.
Currently have a 2015 model xps 15 but it's kinda dying. I like the aesthetic of the laptop but thermal throttling issues are frustrating as hell.
