Definitely the Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition. My sister has had two (one of 2014 vintage, the second one purchased just weeks ago) and they are rock solid, svelte, impressive machines with flawless Linux support.
- anzoxe 9y agoLooking at the dell website I can't find any difference between the new xps 13 and xps 13 developer edition. Besides the regular edition having 8gb RAM instead of 4gb. If they're the same price, why would anyone pay the same for less RAM and pre-installed Ubuntu? Legitmetly curious what other differences there are.
- godot 9y agoMy guess is the convenience of having Linux pre-installed instead of having to go through a new installation yourself? I don't own either, so I wouldn't know for sure, but I think it's somewhat valid that not every high level developer nowadays want to deal with installing Linux OSes. Having Ubuntu preinstalled is welcoming for a lot of the dev userbase who comes from a Macbook world expecting things to be plug and play.
