I've heard that the only hardware difference between the standard + developer edition is the WiFi card (Broadcom vs. Intel) and that a lot of people just buy the standard edition and replace the substandard Broadcom card for the better Intel one.
- dan-bell 10y agoI've been using the standard version with Ubuntu (Kernel 4.4) and the Broadcom driver is also perfectly stable for me.
- grawlinson 10y agoI've had 3 hand-me-down computers, all with Broadcom drivers and they all exhibit bizarre behaviour which rendered the computers unusable. For one of them, the solution was to switch to the proprietary drivers and the other two just had to be replaced with equivalent Intel cards. tl;dr mileage depends, but it's universally accepted that Broadcom cards are shit.
