Nice try, but I'm still not touching Dell devices until their QA and customer support proves to have changed.

Our last XPSs were overpriced garbage.




I bought like 5 XPSs and 1 workstation from dell with ubuntu preinstalled, starting with the original release. Only one model was relatively problematic.

So what do you mean? Are there better laptops with Linux preinstalled from major oems?


Worksations and laptops are not really the same thing, are they?

Every XPS15 we had in the office had some sort of issue. Either motherboard cooking itslef, battery dying prematurely, trackpads getting stuck, display flickering, laptop cooking itslef in the backpack, HDMI issue etc.

Unacceptable for such expensive devices.

Read my comment again. I mean XPSs are very badly designed and built devices. I never said others are better.
