Re: XPS 13 developer edition 7th generation available
#3I've had so many problems with my XPS 13 that I bought in 2016 that I will never buy another one. Killer WiFi card was utter crap, laptop has issues going to sleep and waking up when closing the lid (sometimes it would hang on the the dell screen when trying to wake up and never recover), etc. Purely anecdotal, but a hard pass for me. Lenovo is my new laptop brand of choice.

#4It sure would be nice if someone like dell could at least insert Coreboot, or preferably Libreboot on these babies. They probably have enough heft to make such a change (I hope :).

#5Excited to see them shipping this with a quad core processor (and with 8 MB cache!). My previous-gen XPS 13 9360 has a dual core w/ 3 MB cache (I don't think quad core was offered?) and it has painfully poor performance.

#8I'm guessing that nobody wants to buy new CPUs until a whole new architecture is available. Bad luck in the timing.

That will take a year no?
