XPS15 is the usual recommendation although also look at the Vostro 7590: similar to the XPS, a little cheaper, most of the difference seems to be marque engineering though?

"xps" laptops are usually cheap-ified versions of their actual business laptops vostro are consumer laptops with better warranties. so yes it is badge engineering but the opposite direction of what you implied

Notorious b.s.d. posted:"xps" laptops are usually cheap-ified versions of their actual business laptops the xps and some of the precision laptops are the same thing but the precisions have options for quadros. there are also precisions that are closer to Alienware machines that are larger with better cooling and options for xeon procs. Vostro laptops are lower end parts and worse build quality. the warranties and service are the same for all of them

I installed linux on a 2019 Dell xps 13 9380 with uhd display The finger print reader doesn't work - it's unsupported according to the dell website More serious is that hibernate isn't enabled by default. Sleep works but not hibernate. apparently it can work if you mess around with it but going by forum threads it isn't that easy. apart from that, everything worked with zero configuration. wifi, sounds, display scaling. battery life is excellent, about what I get on windows.

i never even think about this in windows. I just close the lid. In linux I need to think about how long I will have it closed and whether I need to shut down. it's crappy

Amethyst posted:modern computers will suspend for a fixed amount of time, then hibernate. not doing this is a waste of battery. still not seeing the scenario here where the several weeks of battery life when suspended is insufficient, and where just shutting it off (which would be much faster than hibernate) when it won't be used for longer than that somehow doesn't work either. i might need those browser tabs back in 6 months and I'll wait hours for ram to swap to get them!!!

yeah shutting down with autostarting programs is way better than hibernation, it's a fun gimmick that is no longer necessary

tried out prerelease kubuntu 19.10 on my laptop after temporarily wiping it to install windows and attempt a firmware upgrade of my lenovo usb-c dock figured it didnt hurt to install 19.10, copy back the btrfs snapshots i saved before wiping 18.04, clone the read-only home snapshot to be my home dir in this installation, install the same packages and see how 19.10 is coming, since ive only played with 18.10 and 19.04 in vms and not serious use kde plasma 5.16 has a lot more polish than 5.12 in 18.04, neato found out pretty quickly: no amarok and no steam! didnt waste any more time before booting from a usb drive, btrfs subvolume delete @; btrfs subvolume snapshot snapshots-18.04/root@201907whatever @; [fix fstab, mount /dev /proc /sys /boot/efi, chroot, update-grub, etc.]
