XPS 13 Developer Edition End Of Life

Hi,


Dell Netherlands can't sell my company a new XPS 13 Sputnik,  stating it is end-of-life.

Will there be a new product soon or is this the end of preinstalled Linux from Dell?

Kind Regards,


Pim van der Eijk

    Great,  both are good news.  Can you share when the new product will come out?

    Hi Pim,

    We do have a new product coming out.  That being said the current XPS 13 developer edition (Sputnik) is NOT EOL.  I will reach out to our team in the Netherlands and correct this.  Thanks for the heads up!

    Is there a roadmap for the XPS 13 DE that you can share?

    While I would love one of these for work I am interested in getting this as a replacement for my home Linux Lenovo laptop.

    Ideally (for me) Dell would have a roadmap where they do "official" updates on each Ubuntu LTS version

    Now the other thing I will be looking out for is that coil whine :emotion-5:

    @Pim and @SteveH1UK,

    Unfortunately i cant comment on roadmap or give specific dates but the new offerings will be on their way in the near distant future! :)

    thanks for your support!

    Hi Barton,

    Can you please tell us the improvement you made on the sputnik profile and cloud launcher tools?

    Thanks
