Not Your Typical Small Cheap Computer: Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Robert Pogson

What’s with this? Dell is improving the display and increasing the already high price.
“To reflect the upgrade to the improved display the new price for the solution will be $1,549.”

At least it has GNU/Linux. That’s worth some money and they are pushing it to half the world.

    Der Balrog there is a problem of course. Dell Linux offering cost is more than there Windows offering.

    Reality

    “But you see (to continue from the UEFI entry): vendors ARE free to offer computers with Linux.”

    Are vendors free. MS Windows is meant to cost a licensing cost. So where is it.

    Not too shabby.

    LOL. An overpriced Ultrabook with a special premium Linux extra charge? Sure, not too shabby.

    But you see (to continue from the UEFI entry): vendors ARE free to offer computers with Linux.

    You could save $50 by buying the Windows 8 version and adding the Linux stuff yourself:
