That thing looks incredibly promising if quality/reliability are there. Been holding out for USB-C/TB port on one of these things.

Your guess is as good as anyone else's at this point. Mac side of Apple's release schedule is kinda unpredictable/broken given the last couple yrs of data.

That is incredibly disappointing. That model seemed to tick off a lot of checkboxes in all the right places :-/ Wonder if the Precision has the same issues, since they appear to be driver and not hardware related.

If Windows laptop and you aren't gaming (which you prob don't really want to do on a laptop for best performance anyways), go with the professional versions of Lenovo (Thinkpad), Dell (Precision), etc. if you want quality. Better builds, better wty, don't foist as much bloat and crap onto you...

My main concern is the touch screen drivers on Linux; however, no requirement to actually use the touch screen if they suck. I agree on magsafe, but at least some newer laptops are moving to the multi-use usb/charge port, which is a little nicer than the crappy, old-school adapters.

Thx for the updates. About how hard are you pushing it as far as work flow, and at what settings (brightness, etc)?

Looking forward to hearing owners input on the battery life they are seeing under various scenarios. From other forums, it sounds like patches have finally evened out a lot of the issues on the xps 13 and 15.

Whoops, I need to brush up on my reading skills :)

For the time being, Amazon has it for $220.00. Get it while it's hot! :)

Probably a silly question, but did you try attaching it to an external monitor to check if it is in fact not booting vs a damaged screen? I notice you mentioned it chimes when powered on. Do you hear any other noises or indications of function (e.g. keyboard backlight turning on, fans kicking...

Lenovo halted the Thinkpad line of swivels with the x230t (Ivy Bridge). You could technically throw in the Thinkpad Twist the following model year; however, it was much like their low-end E series in that it was a Thinkpad in name only. Not sure what they went for brand new, but near end of...

Any news on the xps line's workstation counterparts?
