Hands-On WIth Dell's 4K Infinity Edge-Equipped Laptops (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: Dell's 2015 version of the XPS 13, the company's 13-inch premium ultrabook, is arguably one of the most acclaimed laptops of the year, with its "Infinity Edge" display that comes in resolutions from 1080p up to UHD 4K, with almost no bezel, and a carbon fiber composite chassis design with a machined aluminum lid. Based on the product's success in the market, Dell recently announced they were bringing the design approach and 4K Infinity Edge display to both their XPS 15 consumer based ultrabooks as well as their Precision 15 professional line up. At Dell World 2015 this week Austin, the company had both 15-inch versions on display for demos and this quick hands on shows just how compact and well-built the machines are, though they're also now refreshed with Intel Skylake processors and PCIe NVMe SSDs.
Can't comment about the new model but I'm typing this on an XPS 13 (with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) purchased in May 2014 and I've never had a problem with it in all that time.

They even make a developer edition running Ubuntu. The problem is, all the reviews point out the poor keyboard and trackpad. Deal breaker for me. I'll stick with Macbooks until I can get something at least as good. Why is it so hard for anyone else to build a trackpad that good?
