I'm just waiting for an XPS 13 from dell outlet, 16GB Ram, i7-7500 processor, 1TB SSD (discounted price + student discount brought it to just under £1200)
I don't really have too much use for windows but might use it for some things, so the big SSD is going to be useful to dual boot with linux mint or ubuntu
have been using apple laptops for my personal machine for a while and previously had dell latitude laptops for work, though generally with windows 7 and VPN for various unix/linux environments
I'm a little concerned by some of the comments re: XPS 13 in this thread, I'm not in a position where I'd want to return the thing or have to faff about... they've already missed a delivery date and will not be delivering the thing until late next week. I've not really used windows 10 and am going to have some minor faff setting up partitions, installing linux.
I'm half wondering whether I should just splash out on a macbook pro to avoid any hassle.
