better than the xps13 dev aka ubuntu edition?
- tbrock 6y agoHah yeah, it’s probably any thinkpad. The X1 carbon is such a better built machine that there isn’t even a comparison. The XPS13 looks good but feels cheap, also good luck getting service from dell if anything breaks.
- ZuLuuuuuu 6y agoOne thing I can't find in any other laptop other than XPS 13 and X1 Carbon is the smooth glass touchpad. I almost never use mouse with my XPS 13 and it became a habit. But unfortunately I haven't seen any other laptops having glass touchpads other than XPS 13 and X1 Carbon.
- tbrock 6y agoWell and a MacBook of course.
- nix23 6y agoGood luck upgrading your X1 Ram ;)
- znpy 6y agoyes. more ports, removable disk and ram. bigger battery. better screen. pretty much the same weight.
- broknbottle 6y agoI have the XPS 13 9360 which I believe was released around the same time as the notebook mentioned in the article. Mine has i5-8250u, 8GB RAM, 1TB Intel 660p NVMe, Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6/BT 5.0 card, 1080P matte display, 2xUSB 3.0 Type-A ports, 1xUSB-C/TB3 port, SD card slot, and a Headphone jack. I don't believe the RAM can be upgraded but the storage and the wireless card definitely can as mine originally came with a 128GB M.2 SSD and a shit Killer Wi-Fi card.
- znpy 6y agoeh, that's the point: the xps 13 costs more and gives you less. for the same money you could have bought a latitude that you could upgrade if you need to.
- vxNsr 6y agoThe 7xxx latitude line def costs more than the xps line. At least that's been my exp browsing the site. but the value is worth it, you get a more serviceable machine that comes with a better std warranty.
