Currently looking for a laptop/notebook to develop on, using Fedora Desktop.
After some research I have found that the new XPS 13(2016) edition seems to be great, in terms of hardware, design and Linux support.
However, when I compare the Developer edition (€1449, Quad HD+ 3200 x 1800) to the Windows edition(€1329, Full HD AG 1920 x 1080), with the following specs:
- i7
- 8 gigs of ram
- 256 gigs of storage
There seems to be a price difference of €120, which only comes from a higher resolution in the Developer edition.
What do you people recommend me to do?
Should I order the Windows edition and defenestrate and install Fedora Desktop on it, or should I order the Developer edition and install Fedora Desktop on it?
I have read there are some differences in the network interfaces, Broadcom or Intel, which one does the Developer edition use?
