Cons
Con If preinstalled with Windows, the disk is fully encrypted.
If preinstalled with Windows, it is harder to install Linux since the disk is fully encrypted.
This means you need to decrypt the disk in Windows, resize the Windows partition, install Linux, and encrypt Windows partition again...
Con Hard to find preinstalled with Linux
If you live outside US or the UK you might find it difficult to find a Dell with Linux preinstalled.
Con Expensive
Although the price is fair, is still is high. For an XPS Dell 13 9360 with some good specs, it will easily rise to prices around 1800€.
But if you have that money to spend, it is totally worth it!
