I have been using the Dell XPS 15 for a long while now. I've actually had a couple, and the most recent has the webcam at the bottom. To be totally honest, I actually prefer that!! For some reason, and I cannot really explain why as I'm not quite sure, but the webcam at the bottom seems to frame my face better at the angles of screen I normally use, than the webcam at the top.
Every time I use my mac, I always have to fiddle with the screen to get it to frame my face properly, but then the angle of the screen is at a poor angle to view stuff on the screen. I had the same problem with my first Dell XPS 15 which had a webcam at the top. I think just having the camera some 7-8" higher just puts the frame, a common screen angles, too darn high.
So, I wouldn't fret about the webcam at the bottom of the screen! In fact, Dell may have a little bit of genius about doing it that way, to get better framing at useful screen angles. ;)
As for WSL, it's really great! If I did not have to do iOS development, I would ditch the MacBook in a moment flat and never look back. I've been using Windows for a long time, and Macs for about 6 years. I've never once had an enjoyable moment with any of the MacBooks I've used, and over time the MacBooks just seem to get worse. The keyboard was never great, but with the newer ones and ultra-slim keys (no tactile feedback), the touch bar (ugh), the GARGANTUAN trackpad that I cannot seem to help but accidentally touch with the inside of my thumb/hand all day long, and the tactile feedback design of the trackpad (which even disabled, still has a really quirky feel/feedback)...using MacBooks has been a growing journey in frustration and poor user experience.
The Dell XPS 15, on the other hand, is a dream. Every time. I love everything about it, the screen is BEAUTIFUL with amazing, rich color. You'll love it!
