   These new XPS 13s arrived yesterday. Looks like the benchmarking marathon will continue this weekend!

   I’ve been wanting to evaluate the Snapdragon chips for myself and see if they’re worthy of any hype.

   And from a gaming standpoint, I’m really curious about Windows Auto SR.

   Windows reviews first, but i’ll definitely be slapping Linux on them if possible and exploring compatibility.

     @killyourfm Do Dell still ship the XPS with Linux?

     @baiteh Yes, the Developer Edition is still alive (but not with these new ARM chips). That said, last week Dell fired the person who has been heading up the program for more than a decade :(
