what's the hardware on the xps13 you are looking at? if it's a new machine in
general i'd say:

1. don't get optimus or any of these dual-gpu setups. either pure intel
(modernish gpus), or pure nvidia (in general i'm wary of ati/amd so i'd
generally counsel to keep away from them thanks to my history/experience).
2. make sure you have more than 64m ram. i think that's easy.
3. hi-dpi could be problematic if you plan to mix hi-dpi and "normal" dpi
screens. if you want all "hi dpi", or all normal - you are good to go with
scaling.

that's really it. as such bodhi may work fine for you, as will arch (which
packages e verbatim and AUr offers git master tracking packages). opensuse has
good e packages, and tbh the rest - i don't know off the top of my head, but:
