Hello everyone!
I want (need) to replace my old Dell Inspiron E1405 (it has been 6 or 7 year with it :_)) and I was wondering which laptop to buy. I bought an HP but had to return because of its problems with UEFI, drivers and etc with Ubuntu or dual boot.
I'm looking to buy something that works with Ubuntu "out of the box" and that have the best specifications possible.
About looks, performance, personal experience I'm going for the Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition. I think it has many great features although the number of ports available, some Wifi problems I've been reading (I don't know if they are of previous model and support doesn't seem to know), and the lack of ability to use multiple external monitors are among the things that worries me.
About System76 Galago Pro, well I really don't know well the brand, and the laptops are not so stylish, but it has more ports, and seems to be possible to upgrade in the future, and is also lightweight. I don't know if there are known issues or if I would be able to use multiple displays with it. Also the 14' display I think is better than the 13.3' of Dell's
The price of both for the same characteristics is similar, although the Galago is a bit cheaper.
Does anyone have any of these laptops that can tell me about their reliability, how are they working (having issues? or didn't work out of the box?), and in general an insight of which one would you buy and why? How's the battery life?
