I have an xps13 with Debian.
- _ix 9y agoI've seen that the developer edition is pretty popular. How do you like it? What kind of battery life do you get out of real world use?
- bwood 9y agoNot the GP, but I get 4-5 hours real world use with my XPS13. Sometimes that gets cut in half if there's a rogue process eating a core that I don't notice. Overall I love it, it's the first proper successor to my beloved 12" PowerBook. The small bevel keeps the form factor tight without sacrificing screen size.
- _ix 9y agoI, too, had a much loved 12" Powerbook G4 notebook. What a lovely little machine. This gives me more to consider. Thanks!
- pyrophane 9y agoTwo things to note about the XPS 13: 1) The developer edition, as far as I can tell, has not been updated to 8th gen intel CPUs which offer a quad core U-series. It might be a better bet to just get the most updated XPS and install Linux on it. 2) There have been some images shared by dell that suggest a redesign of the XPS line is imminent, possibly at CES in a week or so. It might be wise to wait a little to see if there are some nice updates on the horizon or good deals coming on existing models.
