    You are not doing linux a fovour with those linux notebooks. If a not nerd will buy them, they will think linux is still something for nerds only, because the first thing he has to do is BIOS and OS upgrades. But in reality the problem is not Linux, its Dell selling half finished computers.

    Hello George,
    I sent you message a while back asking if the developer edition would be made available in Australia. At the time you said no but I’m curious to know if this has changed. Are there any plans to make it available in Australia soon? I range Dell here but the sales person had no idea what I was on about 🙂

    Hi Barton!

    Will there be a 16 GB version some time?
    I love the XPS 13, but I definitely need more than 8 GB.

    Thank you!

      Hi Carlos,

      Unfortunately at this point we dont see a 16GB in the near distant future. We keep getting a fair amount of requests so hopefully we can use this to drive improvedments.

    Is there a reason why Dell Germany doesn’t list the DE anymore for customers? Twitter doesn’t help with “There’s no specific reason”

    I’m struggling to understand why there isn’t a 512GB option for the SSD. 256GB is pretty small at this point and there is a 512GB option for the normal XPS 13 line.
