Dell XPS 13 9350

Great 11-hour battery and build, but the IPU7 webcam is dead on Linux because of a Dell BIOS bug, and the capacitive function row still annoys nearly every reviewer.

Compiled from public sources and community data, not hands-on tested. What that means.

Linux readiness6.1

Best on ubuntu LTS. Confidence: high
