Dell Pro 14 Premium (PA14250, Core Ultra 7 268V)
A 1.17 kg Lunar Lake business 14 with a real 12-hour battery and tank build, but the MIPI webcam is the usual Intel mess on Linux and you live without it or carry a USB cam. Buy it for battery and chassis, not for a clean Linux camera.
Compiled from public sources and community data, not hands-on tested. What that means.
Best on ubuntu LTS. Confidence: high

ubuntu-lts: Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) is solid from kernel 6.12, so use Ubuntu 24.10 or the 24.04 HWE kernel, not the 6.8 GA. Like the XPS 13 9350 this chassis uses the Intel IPU6/IPU7 MIPI webcam, which needs the libcamera and intel-vsc stack and still does not work in most apps out of the box. Speaker amp wants a sof-firmware and UCM profile before it sounds right. Fingerprint is a Goodix sensor that enrols with fprintd after a manual quirk. Wi-Fi (Intel BE201), Bluetooth and s2idle are fine. ArchWiki: Dell IPU6 camera and Lunar Lake notes →
