Dell has never hesitated to offer the famous free Linux operating system on its devices to make the fans happy OS, reducing the final price of the device. The savings come from the fact that users do not need to spend money to license Windows. Two of the latest models of the company get the same treatment, since Dell has decided to market an XPS M3800 13 and Developer Edition, Ubuntu 14.04.1 installed.
The M3800 Ubuntu is available now. By disposing of Windows 8.1, you go for a savings of $ 101.50 off the original price . This means that the starting price of 1533.50 dollars, a sum that remains still quite accordingly. But anyway, for users who are considering replacing Windows with Linux, not having to spend extra dollars for the operating system is a good thing.

One of the main complaints from users regarding previous opus Ubuntu Dell, the XPS 13 Developer Edition, is what they wanted. This is a larger and more powerful model. The 15.6 inch M3800 has a UHD resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels. It is powered by a fourth-generation Intel Core i7 processor and up to 16GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA Quadro K1100M.
A minor problem is that users will have the version Ubuntu 14.04.1, which does not support Thunderbolt port M3800 2.0 . However, Dell promises that for the next version of the OS, Ubuntu 14.04.2, support will be added, in order that users can do without this port for a short time.
In an article on the Dell website, the company said that the fourth generation of the XPS 13 will soon be available but without giving a specific date for the update.
A key point in the sale of these two models is their size, since the XPS 13 is very light with a weight of 1.17 kg on the scale, and the basis weight for the M3800 is only 2.13 kilograms. Obviously, Ubuntu does not change the weight of the devices, but on the autonomy of these, nothing was mentioned.
