I'd like to buy the new XPS-13 developer edition. But Dell doesn't provide the configuration I want in the USA, though it is available in other areas or with Windows not Ubuntu.
The problem is, currently if you want an i7 processor or big SSD, you have to get the QHD screen. I don't want the QHD screen because (1) Shorter battery life, (2) Want the same resolution on the built-in screen as my big monitor, which is 1920x1080, (3) FHD screen goes brighter, (4) I don't like touch screens, (5) more expensive.
So this request is: please offer the i7 processor and 256 GB SSD with the FHD screen. 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€.
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.
