  >> We really liked the updated Skylake-powered Dell XPS 13, and its bigger brother, the XPS 15, was also pretty great. > All the laptops mentioned in the article ship with Intel WiFi. This is wrong - the XPS 15 does not. > 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 01)

    *All the laptops mentioned in the article as shipping with Linux from Dell will in fact come with Intel WiFi.

      > *All the laptops mentioned in the article as shipping with Linux from Dell will in fact come with Intel WiFi. Source? I see no indication of that (here is where they link to for the XPS 15: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/dell-xps-15-review-a-bigger-version-of-the-best-pc-laptop/ http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/dell-xps-15-review-a-...)

        Yeah, this certainly wasn't the case with the previous Developer Edition XPS13. You apparently got Intel with some versions of it and not with others and information about which version included what was pretty difficult to come by. Broadcom supplied a binary blob driver for their wireless but that's not ideal...

        The XPS 15 isn't shipping with Linux, the Precision 5510 is (enterprise version of XPS 15). http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/precision-m5510-workstation/pd?oc=xctop551015us http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/precision-m5510-workstatio...
