10 Years of Dell XPS13 developer laptops
Back in 2006, Michael Dell told me that Dell was going to be the first major PC vendor to release and support desktop Linux. Six years after that, Dell went further. The Austin, Texas-based company released a laptop specifically for Linux and open-source developers: The Project Sputnik Dell XPS13. A decade later, Dell is still producing this popular programmers-first laptop.
From the start, this powerhouse laptop family's path forward has been shepherded by Barton George, Dell Technologies' Developer Community manager. I've also been using and reviewing the Dell XPS13 Developer Edition since day one. They were great machines then. They're great machines now.
