Update on XPS 13/15 2016 Developer Edition availability

Hi Neil,

Although things can always change based on customer feedback, at this point the three configs offered. at least for awhile.  

So close I can taste it ;)

Barton, it's not good for you to be tasting keyboards. They have lots of germs on them. :P

We're on it and making progress, i promise.  So close I can taste it ;) 

Leave him be. If Barton pre-licking all the keyboards gets the machines shipped quicker, I'll take my chances.

Ewwwwwww ;)

Hi Barton,

If you can influence it, could you please make sure it's a real US keyboard, the one with the "horizontal" return/enter key. I often get a UK keyboard with a "vertical" return/enter key when I select a US keyboard. And that is really really annoying, because then the return/enter key is often missed when trying to hit it.

Thank you so much!

Hi @Hroosen,

Ill pass your input along.  Thanks for the feedback!

Dell Greece seems oblivious to the Developer Edition and Dell UK doesn't ship outside UK, I'm doomed :(

Hey Barton, any chance you can push some units to Greece? :P

Hi Barton

Hi Tormen,

The US keyboards for the XPS 13 DE should be available in a few days on the following Dell sites

AT, BE, DK, FR, DE, IE, IT, NL, NO, ES, SE, CH, UK 

Thanks for pointing this out to us.  Your input and the input of a few others helped make this happen :-)

I note that the recommended HDMI/Ethernet/VGA adapter for the 2016 XPS 13 isn't the USB-C one (unlike the 15 and 12).  Does either work on linux?

Thanks.

Hi there

It seems they are now shown on the be and nl websites , 3 models in total .

The first model with the i5 ( BNX9333 on be site and on CNX9333 on the nl site)

Do you know why they have different model number (country related ? weird no ? :) )

Also it seems that I can not choose the keyboard layout on the belgium version and on the NL site it is mentioned it is the VS/International version.

Also a colleague of me was wondering if there is also an i5 with 16 GB RAM on the drawing board :)

I think I can live with the 8 GB version, just curious about the different model numbers

It's showing on the UK site as well.
