TechCrunch: Laptop Week Review: The Dell XPS 13 Developers Edition With Ubuntu
Dude, you got a Linux-powered Dell! In all the years I’ve reviewed laptops I’ve never been as pleasantly surprised by an Ultrabook as I was with the Dell XPS 13 Developers Edition. This ultrathin, ultralight SSD laptop originally came in Windows flavor but, much to my surprise, I far prefer the Ubuntu edition of this device. It is solidly built, acceptably priced given the solid state drive, and surprisingly powerful.
GoSaBe blog: Dell XPS 13 FHD Developer Edition
Well, I did something I never thought I would: I bought a brand-new, high-end Dell laptop. For full price. Me. Hell will be freezing over shortly…So, so far, two thumbs up. Way to go Dell. (There, I said it.)
ISO features now in 13.04
Kamal Mostafa, Canonical kernel meister for project Sputnik, recently pointed out on the forums:
…the Sputnik ISO is now over a year old and all of the kernel features it supplies have since been integrated into standard the Ubuntu kernel, making Ubuntu 13.04 a good choice if you’re planning to install Ubuntu yourself on an XPS 13.
