I’m going with this Dell and returning my Lenovo Slim 7 Pro. In my previous thread saying I switched to Windows I read that Dells offer great compatibility. I ordered this Dell XPS 13 and plan on going with Pop OS. Thoughts on this? Good choice?

Edit: Apparently it’s certified with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I assume I should go with This particular Ubuntu version then?

    I’ve been wondering what the best non-Mac laptop is. Like something that’s premium feeling without being the same price as a Mac.

    I have a Lenovo laptop-14 that I really like, but it’s a bit thick and the screen is a bit dim at times. The speakers are also very quiet.

    Is an xps what I should be looking at?

      I can say that my old XPS 13 felt premium, and the speakers blew me away with how good they were.

      But XPS models, just like MacBooks, are far from cheap

        I just priced one out and you get about double the ram and 2-4x the storage space of the air.

        So, while I agree they are expensive, they are nowhere near MacBook pricing. Mac pricing is insane.

        Also there are two different body styles and one is like $400 more but the specs I think are the same otherwise.
