I wonder whether they'll offer a version without a discrete GPU, and how difficult will it be to install/run Linux on it ...

So I wonder whether there's more detailed info about the exact models they'll offer, somewhere.

The only two vendors absent on that meeting were Apple and Dell, but Dell then attended the second meeting where they agreed to never offer i5/i7 CPU with an integrated GPU. That's the best explanation why the only XPS15 config with integrated GPU only has i3 CPU ...
