Many people, myself included, love the Dell XPS 13.

  X1 Carbon is also pretty good. I miss previous generation Thinkpad keyboards, but I reckon the island one looks good and feels great on the X1C.

    No Thunderbolt 3 support, not even a single port, right? Lenova is outsider on the market having no TB3 support.

      So was Apple yesterday.
      • vladimir-y 10y ago
        Agree, presented Apple laptops look more like mediocre devices.

  The XPS 13 Ubuntu version seems to not be available. Does anyone know what's up? I tried to do a comparison yesterday with the new Macbooks and wasn't able to. The Windows version is still available. http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd

    Here you go: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd?3x_nav=OS_BRAND%3DUBUNT http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd?3x_n... You have to use the normal XPS 13 page and choose Ubuntu from the OS filter.

    You can find it on this page: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-9360-laptop/pd The most straightforward way is to select "Ubuntu" as the "Operating System" filter at the top of the models list. Outside the US you should follow the links in this article: https://bartongeorge.io/2016/10/04/the-new-xps-13-developer-edition-lands-in-europe-and-united-states/ https://bartongeorge.io/2016/10/04/the-new-xps-13-developer-...

      UK Site - I can't see any way to configure with anything except Windows 10 Home.
      • smhg 10y ago
        In the Configurations section (where you see the first 4 models), you have to push Next until you are at the end of the list. The last 3 models mention Ubuntu (last 4 in the US).

    Thanks, not sure what up with that other page. As I feared, Dell still only offer the standard def screen on the lowest end model. I do not want a touch screen and I do not want the high dpi screen, if only for the extra power required. Why Dell thinks the high-end screen is desirable on a developer laptop is beyond me.

      Every time I go to the Dell website I curse how difficult it is to navigate. I really want a 1920x1200 matte screen option...

  If only Dell would add some keys to that keyboard! Just an extra column at right with Del / Home / PgUp / PgDn / End would make it so much more comfortable. Why copy Apple and remove things many users like?
• s_kilk 10y ago
  I was looking at that model last night, and it appears to come with max 8GB of memory. Which seems like a complete non-starter.
  • Zagitta 10y ago
    I'm using an XPS 13 with 16GB of RAM right now and I certainly didn't solder in 8GB extra so that might be regional issue :)
    • s_kilk 10y ago
      Probably, I was viewing the UK store.
• randlet 10y ago
  I really like the sounds of the XPS 13 but I'm really wary of going to a 13" screen. I currently use a 17" MBP...
