Are you in a hurry to get this? Otherwise, you should go out and touch and feel the real things to get a better feel on which one you like best 

Spec wise, all models are more or less the same, i5 ULV, HD 4000, SSD. And all of them has good build qualities.
So it's a matter of which screen is more conducive for user touch input (which is a personal preference. And I suggest you spend minimum 15 minutes with eacg model, just touching the screen

If it is for business and you can't afford down time, then Dell Malaysia warranty support is best (upgrade to 3 year on site and you are set).

Down time as in laptop stay weeks or months inside SC for repair?   

Sorry to hear about your situation in Ipoh. But are you planning to make a RM3-4k purchase without looking at the real thing ever? 
Why don't you drop by to KL (LYP for example) for a few hours and just feel the models out before you commit?

Ok, if you really have to buy blind, go with Dell. (If thing really turn bad, you can activate RMA and get money back)
The XPS 12 has a 12.5" screen. You can flip it to turn it into a tablet (don't worry, the hinge is quite solid). No Optical drive, no VGA port, no Ethernet port (there are USB dongle for these port if you want to buy).
You can order online through Dell Online Malaysia. Can pay using credit card. Dell will deliver to your door step. If budget allow, extend warranty to 3 years.
Also, please online chat with Dell sales agent, and haggle for discount. Aim for 10% off list price at least
Dell Malaysia give you onsite warranty. If there is any hardware problem, give Dell a call, and they will send technician to your house to fix it next biz day.
