Dell once sold a “Developer Edition” laptop, so there is definitely a sizable market and developers do have some influence. https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/sho

    Damn, that's kind of a nice laptop. Pretty tempting actually, though I'd probably install Windows on it personally. I was curious what specs made it "developer"-mode, and it looks like it's just a really big battery, very bright screen with good viewing angles, and easy to open with one hand (and a stable screen when you're moving around with it). Seems like it's specifically aimed at devs that work remote jobs and might be working outside from time to time? Still, neat idea.

  They still sell a Linux variant of the XPS series, which works mostly fine. It's not a patch on the X1 Carbon, but it's functional.
