So, yes, there is that nostalgic factor, too.ĭell updates the XPS line almost every year and the latest rollout was announced in October (link to video interview). XPS 13 was also my very first laptop, which lasted me more than 7 years. While I need a really powerful desktop to handle my 4K UHD, multicam video production, I also need an ultra-portable laptop that I can bring with me anywhere without having to worry about a bulky backpack and charger. What started as one machine is now an entire line of high-end laptops and desktops.Īmong these machines, XPS 13 is my favorite. Five years ago, Barton George started a program within Dell to bring desktop Linux to consumer grade, high-end Dell systems. Dell machines fall in the latter category. Still, there are machines that can run Linux, and then there are machines that run Linux.
The kernel community has done an incredible job with device driver support to make everything work out of the box. Today, almost every machine out there can run Linux. Gone are the days when we had to do a lot of research and read a lot of reviews to find a machine that would work with the least amount of trouble with the desktop Linux distribution of choice.
