I really want to buy a "Linux laptop" like this because I want to vote with my money and I don't want to be paying for a Windows license that I'm not going to use. But why don't they sell an XPS 15 Developer Edition? Surely there's a lot of professional types wanting a bigger laptop right? Is there some hardware difference between the two that causes problems? What's the deal?
- anuragsoni 8y agoTheir Precision 5530 is the developer edition XPS 15. The same chassis with a different GPU and intel wireless instead of killer. Although those tend to be a lot pricier than the regular XPS 15's
- mikenew 8y agoDid not know that. Honestly I would pay a bit more for Intel wireless vs. Killer. Thanks.
- anuragsoni 8y agoI think some of the price increase is also because of the different CPU options. In general their Precision line should be a lot more configurable.
- robocat 8y agoThe price difference was an extra 50% when I looked - and only came with 16.04 when I looked in December.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoWait a bit, the new 15 should be announced shortly.
- rhodysurf 8y agoBusinesses just buy Precisions instead... same chassis and better internals
