I've also been looking at this. I understand that the Latitude series is more upgradable and has a better port selection and a better keyboard than the XPS line but it comes with compromise on battery life and build quality. How's it been holding out for you? Also how is Linux support on it out of the box?
- bradstewart 10y agoIt's Dell's business line, so build quality is phenomenal. It actually feels sturdier than the XPS 15 to me (though I only played with the XPS at the store). Just not as sleak--visible screws, serviceable hinges, that sort of thing. As for battery life, I get 5-6 hours of real work out of it. I installed elementaryOS 0.4 (dual boot with Windows 10) and had no issues whatsoever. Everything worked out of the box, including the touch screen, multi-touch/two-finger scrolling, and keyboard hot keys. On Linux Mint however, the cursor was hidden/invisible. Everything else worked (including the touch screen). I didn't spend much time trying to get it work, just continued using elementary.
