Hello Jay,
A. Dell’s states, and their spec sheets state, that the Dell XPS 13 Windows and Dell XPS 13 Linux are now identical in every regard.
B. The Kubuntu Fous is nothing more than a System76 (Tuxedo) Oryx Pro. All the hardware specs are identical. The only difference is Kubuntu is installed on the Kubuntu Focus.
C. Lenovo also states, and the laptop specs state, that both the X1 Carbon Windows and X1 Carbon Linux are the same.
I’m currently using a PineBook Pro x64, and I gotta tell yah… the trackpad, the keyboard are not a good user experience. The Wifi is slow. And there have been intermittent freezes where the system simply freezes and must be reboot.
After using the PineBook Pro for nearly 6 months, my impression is that it is best suited to learning the Linux command line. Otherwise, the user experience just isn’t that great. It’s been annoying enough that if I had the choice I wouldn’t use it. But hey, we all use stuff we don’t really like, right ? That is the IT way…
I have owned Dell XPS 15 and Lenovo X1 Extreme both Windows.
I am thinking I will wait to see if Lenovo releases the X1 Extreme with Umbunu. If not, my next choice is the upcoming 14 inch Apple MacBook Pro with Gen 2 of its ARM chip.
I would by the Serval, but as System76 told me, because it is an AMD chip, support for coreboot, power adjust utilities, and a whole other slew of things requires the community and them to go a lot further is fully supporting AMD chips.
Thank you. Best Regards.
