There's always the Dell XPS 13.
- _red 12y agoI have both an XPS and MBAir (2012 model). I routinely boot the same linux-USB desktop distro on both. The XPS is probably a bit faster (i7), and screen DPI is better. But, MBA provides and overall better experience. The most glaring things that stick out in MBA favor is: (a) keyboard, (b) touchpad. The XPS touchpad is really sub-par given the focus of the machine as a development platform. Often while typing, the slightest brush against it will cause the cursor to jump. This is not an issue on the MBA.
- ZanyProgrammer 12y agoHow is the power management on the XPS? Does opening and closing the lid work decently?
- chambo622 12y agoI have an XPS 13 Ivy Bridge generation running Ubuntu and power management is perfectly fine. My WiFi does seem rather poor in terms of signal strength/stability compared to other devices I own, however.
