Dell XPS 13

“has worked fine in Linux ever since I got it”

“all three have been solid and are still working”

“The XPS 13 dev was the peak of dell”

“Get one with Linux pre installed and it just works as well.”

“All of the Windows ones have horrible throttling problems, my $3k dell xps 13z was just terrible.”

“I've been running XPS13 dev edition since 2014 and have been pretty happy with them.”

“right up until all of the good will has been extracted from the brand.”

“they made the XPS worse and worse. Keeping the brand but destroying the value.”

“My Dell XPS 13 is probably not that powerful in terms of performance”

“Not all things are designed that way; sometimes the jack is right on the main board”

“The jack actually broke on my old xps. Changing it with an aliexpress replacement took about 15 minutes and something like 3€”

“Kind of a bonehead move by Dell to leave out the headphone jack though.”

“the XPS 13 came out and is arguably a compelling alternative”

“Battery life is pretty good (but I replaced the batteries before I realized the CPU issue was the culprit).”

“a more capable device that supports Linux”

“The $599 XPS13 is a better value, and it can run Linux”

“It's a much better hardware/software combo, and Apple can't unilaterally kill it by refusing to provide upgrades”

“Now with the Macbook Neo, the new XPS 13" or the Chuwi Minibook X ... it is more convenient than ever.”

“I've found the Dell XPS 13's to be an excellent choice for stowing in my service bag”

“Looks neat for sure. However you are sacrificing some core performance on the CPU”

“fairly nice CNC machined body (1 kg) and nice screen”

“Now the XPS line has fallen as well, as apparently even the SSD now gets soldered to the motherboard”

“It's a solid laptop. Good display, good port selection, good keyboard, even trackpad is not bad.”

“Then they ruined it with the following generations of it.”

“Dell was the pioneer of the big makes with XPS 13”

“It's (even for today's standards) lightweight and Linux compatibility has been perfect from day one.”

“My XPS 13 is still doing well after the last nearly 6 years”

“I owned a couple XPS 13 laptops in a row and liked them a lot”

“they were the closest but still were only like 75% of what I would like”

“I've been a Dell XPS 13 stan for years (owned 3)”

“My Dell XPS 13 costing 1/3rd never had any problems, and when replaced it just felt a bit slow”

“The hardware has held up quite well.”

“it's great because it's so small and light”

“Both had significant touchpad issues: not sure if that's a driver thing or a hardware thing”

“running Fedora on Dell XPS 13 for a couple years with zero problems”

“it was a terrible experience. Very hot, build quality was poor, touchpad was small, speakers were terrible.”

“I think that we were almost at the top of the curve in term of quality/price.”

“I only stopped using as a primary due to lack of ram expansion”

“whose keyboard was miles better and it still works today”

“the screen hinge sensor broke. Can’t open the laptop more than like, 20 degrees or so before screen shuts off.”
