Dell XPS ftw

I wonder if he got paid for this kind of endorsement? Well, he has the XPS13, I went with the XPS15, that extra two inches really comes in handy....

I recently talked with some Linux developers about what the best laptop is for serious programmers. As a result I checked out several laptops from a programmer's viewpoint. The winner in my book? The 2016 Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition. I'm in good company. Linus Torvalds, Linux's creator, agrees. The Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition, for him, is the best laptop around.

Cool! It's good to see Dell producing good machines. The only thing I don't like about the Developer edition is that you get to pay about $190 more than for the Windows version. A free operating system costs you $190 more? Something makesanosensa there.

But it is a quality laptop, that's for sure!
