Which edition of XPS 13 was that? The silver one or the thin bezel one? I was told that the new one is pretty good, but it doesn't sound like that. That's sad,

  It's black and the bezel is maybe 0.8cm or something... retina display (which had its own problems, but with some DPI configuration works well, especially after a recent Chromium update). For full disclosure I'm not using the stock Ubuntu -- which I as a Linux nerd found to be really pumped full of bullshit that I don't want ever. It's possible that their special distro has magic patches that they haven't managed to get into the mainline Linux kernel, but that doesn't impress me much since they advertise it as a "Linux developer machine," not as a "Dell Custom Ubuntu machine." It also requires a proprietary WiFi driver, although I'm told some configurations have an Intel chip that works out of the box with Linux. I strongly believe that a developer machine advertised to work with Linux should not require any proprietary extensions. Probably Dell doesn't care about this very much though. But they should, since I'm now tarnishing the reputation of their flagship dev product in a forum full of semi-influential hackers... That all said, I use the thing everyday and, whatever, I'm used to stuff being broken, and I can get used to most things. That trackpad though... so infuriating. On the plus side I'm using more keyboard navigation than ever. (And noticing how terribly the web works if your mouse sucks.)
