Project Sputnik Introduction and list of recent fixes

The Dell XPS 13 laptop, developer edition began life as “Project Sputnik” a scrappy skunk works project to pilot a developer-focused system. Thanks to the amazing feedback and support we received from the Community it became an official product.

Today our XPS 13 developer edition offering has expanded from one system configuration to four. We’ve also added a line-up of five Ubuntu-based Dell Precision mobile workstations.  

It’s also thanks to the power of the Community that this project has continued to grow and remains vibrant today.  In support of the Dell Community, here is a list of fixes for some issues that have come up on the Dell Community Forums:
