Dell’s Ubuntu based Developer laptop just got better

, ,

Dell announced today an updated XPS 13, preloaded with Ubuntu, which has a full high-definition 1080p display. It will be available for sale in the USA  and Canada, but as part of this update Dell will also be making it available in parts of Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

 

As we reported in November, the Dell XPS 13 is a high-end ultramobile laptop, offering developers a complete client-to-cloud experience. It is the result of Dell’s bold Sputnik initiative which embraced the community and received terrific response from developers around the world.  With Ubuntu 12.04 LTS preloaded, the machine is perfect for developers and anyone who wants high speed, brilliant graphics and smart design.

If you’re keen to get your hands on a new Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition with Ubuntu pre-loaded, check-out our web page for more details and links:

We’ll post more links allowing you to buy in additional countries as soon as we can.

    Thank you for expanding current availble hardware… I really really hope this will become available in Austria.

    I’m wondering whether these systems will be certified “without notes” by canonical for the Ubuntu Advantage offering.

  5. Hi,

    According to Dell they will be available for purchase in the next week or so. We’ll be putting up links on the Dell partner page as soon as we have them.

    Thanks,

  6. Hi

    Barton George whose leading this project in Dell posted about availability, so read his post for more detail. The summary is that it will be available for online purchase in France, Germany, UK, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. In other countries you should be able to contact a Dell representative to ask for it.

    Now that they’ve got the high resolution, i’m definitely getting this!

  8. I would have purchased this instead of upgrading an Acer ux32vd, but my purchase came a month too early :)

    I ended up with 10gb instead of 8gb, and paid about $100 less, but I still would have bought the dell to support this project.

  9. Now Its easy to buy dell Laptops in india
