that too is a "skylake", latest gen intel CPU, you might have some issues with CentOS and the USB C/Thunderport, and/or USB 3 on those.
If it works on Ubuntu, you likely can get it working with C7 albeit maybe using a newer kernel.
unless you're going to game or run advanced CAD software, I'd try and find one that uses Intel's onboard graphics, just to keep things simpler, and save on battery life.
IF that M.2 PCIe SSD is a NVMe drive, you might need to muck about with
drivers or newer kernels to get it working, but it may well work in SATA mode 'out of box'.
For sure, you'll have more luck with CentOS 7.x rather than 6.x

I am looking with interest at Dell XPS 15 but have not yet begun investigating if CentOS 7 would run on it.
