Hey guys,
Just sold my 2015 (broadwell based) Macbook Air & looking for something better. Looking to buy a laptop (leaning toward Dell XPS 13) and my priorities are (in order):
1) Linux compatibility
2) Hardware Build quality
3) Battery life (I'd love to have a user replaceable battery for my 12 hours+ of flights to Brazil)
4) 13" or less.
5) Price (under $1000)
6) 8G ram or better
7) 1920x1080 IPS screen or better
8) I5-8xxx (does this work well with kernel 4.13 ? 4.15 ?) with integrated graphics.
9) SSD: nvme, 256G or better.
What should I be looking at after the Dell XPS? This one looks nice, but I'd like to have other options as well.
Should I be considering Ryzen laptops? I'm open to that as well.
