If my employer offered anything for Linux use than a 10lb Dell laptop I would consider it. I primarily choose MacBooks because I know what to expect in terms of hardware.

Aren't Dell XPS laptops considered pretty good for Linux?
I use desktops 99% of the time (it's more ergonomic), but I have an old XPS for occasional travel.
XPS Laptops are also expensive so the employer might not offer them as an option.
But they do offer Macbooks, so presumably an XPS is in budget.
If they can afford to outfit macbook pros, they can likely afford to outfit their employees with XPS or more likely, latitudes with the same form factor.
They're probably already spending more.
