Dell kills the XPS brand
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
For good graphics performance in a smallish package, I like Lenovo Legion.
If graphics aren't a concern, then I have no more specific recommendation, too much choice. I like flip style laptops, but I don't know if those have proper Linux support. I'd also look for a screen larger than 14", but with thin bezels.
I will not do any gaming on my laptop, I really only need a quality screen to read documents and display the occasional Netflix video
