That new XPS 15...

Really really hoping that this XPS has a lower resolution touch screen display (1440 or lower for improved battery life over the QHD display) and a discrete graphics solution (Nvidia preferred).

If it has those options it will definitely be my next laptop replacement!!

Agreed. Here's a short video.

Based on what I saw in the video, that USB-C connector appears to be one of those new Thunderbolt 3 ports... which would indicate that the XPS 15 will likely be sporting one of the new Skylake processors (since thunderbolt 3 is supposed to debut with that microarchitecture).

Following this information, we can see that the Skylake architecture mobile chips that this class of notebook would use wont be available until Sept 2015.

Which means that at the earliest, this particular laptop shouldn't actually come out until September or October.

I have the previous XPS 13 edition and would love to buy the new XPS 15 to support the community. The m3800 still looks great, but I do prefer the looks and keyboard of the new XPS 15. It would be great if someone from Dell would discuss possible plans to release an official Ubuntu Edition. I'm willing to spend $2500+ on a laptop, but only if the purchase adds to the total Ubuntu units sold. I want to make sure that Dell knows that the only reason I'm buying the laptop is because of the Ubuntu support. I don't want to just buy an XPS 15 with Windows and wipe it.

This made me curious, and it does appear to be a bit off center in the video/pictures posted so far. I was able to find a picture from the direct front on this page.

It looks like it's pretty close to center and I measured the space on each side of the trackpad in gimp and they seem to be the same. Perhaps the space bar makes it appear a bit off center, but I just checked my macbook pro and the spacebar is slightly off to the left on it as well.

It looks like the trackpad isn't centered, at least in some pictures. If someone could hand the designers a ruler and a dictate to center the trackpad, screen, and keyboard, that would go a long way to helping people purchase (and like) their laptops.

I think you're right, Mike. The trackpad is centered, but the keys on the keyboard are asymmetrical so it gives the illusion of being off.
