Request: XPS-13 Developer Edition Configurations

MRC01

Thanks for the feedback.  I will pass it along.

thanks!

Similar thing goes on in Italy (or whole EU?) as well, I would love to get the QHD/i5/256GB, but the only option you have if you want the developer edition with a QHD screen is to buy the top-of-the-line model (i7/512GB) which is quite expensive at 1529€.

Thanks!

Thanks Ftruzzi.

I am collecting feedback re different configs to see if its at all possible to remove one and add another.

Thanks for the feedback

Barton, as long as you're collection feedback, please tally a vote for an optional 256GB drive to swap out the 128GB one on the existing $949 platform.

Even without such an option, I'd still choose the $949 machine over anything else out there today (including any of the MacBook Airs).

Dell and your Sputnik team should be applauded and encouraged in what you're doing, and hope you can keep it going with even more configuration options in the future.

I created an account just to add that I want this configuration too. Please have a non-touch + i7/larger SSD option as touch is not a must for development. 

Thanks @Francisn @dvsns!

Your feedback has been added.

FHD (non-touch), i5, 8GB, 512GB SSD

I'll also throw in a vote for more non-touch configurations, I would rather use the power on driving an i7. 

FHD (no touch), i7/i5, 8Gb, 256Gb

Thanks for the great work you guys are doing!

This is exciting - looks like lots of folks (like me) want the FHD screen with the i7 processor and bigger SSD.

With this strong demand it seems more likely Dell will make it available!

@photongrapher and @mrc01 

thanks for the feedback!

Count me as another vote for the FHD (non-touch) display, i5 processor, 8 GB, and 256 GB disk.

I would purchase that immediately were it available.

I vote for a FHD, non-touch display along with an i5 processor, 8GB RAM and 256 DB disk.

@Barton George - On a related note, how does Dell take such feedback and what time-lines do you typically work on in responding with product changes?

Hi Madhavanm,

I recently compiled all the config requests and turned them into our product team.  We are limited to the number of configs we can have so will swap out our least popular config with a requested on.

We take in feedback and use it to build cases with the various teams.  Sometimes we have better luck than others :)  Of course if we get enough feedback as in the case of people asking for official Precision M3800 we act on it more quickly.

thanks again for your feedback.

Hi Barton,

When I bought the M3800 DE recently it's got the 30%ish discount, like for the windows version. Now however, the fully configurable option (only place where one can select Ubuntu as OS) costs $900+ more than the windows versions (and same h/w config) - which effectively means nobody is going to buy it.

I assume this is an error? A colleague would buy the machine right away, but is effectively blocked.

Yikes that is an error.  Ill pass to the M3800 team.

thanks for calling it out!
