What would you choose between dell xps 13 with this specs and the thinkpad x1 carbon with minimum specs (128 ssd and 4 gb ram) ?

I don't know much about thinkpad x1, but the xps 13 I bought had 256 gb ssd with 8 gb ram, so that's why i bought it. given the same specs, i would buy the more affordable, i guess.

This laptop has been wonderful. Weighs almost nothing and runs fast. Works wonderfully great with my facebook games and as long as you keep it updated when it needs to, I have never had even close to one single problem and I've had it for almost 6 months now!

Dell sells a version of the XPS 13 with Ubuntu pre-installed, so I would assume the support is pretty good. The best things to look at for linux support are: wireless card/vendor and graphics card/vendor. For wireless cards, Intel &gt; Realtek &gt; Broadcom. Broadcom is going to be a nightmare usually. I have a Realtek card, and it has been pretty good. For graphics, Intel &gt; AMD integrated GPU (on the CPU) &gt; nVIDIA = AMD discrete. If you are not gaming, integrated GPU is your best bet (no graphics card). It looks like this Ultrabook has an Intel graphics card, and integrated GPU, so it should be great. Please note that this is an older version of the XPS 13, and you may want to check out Dell's website to get the newest one.

Hi, The laptop comes with a 128GB SSD or higher. I purchased the 128GB SD X1 Carbon model and purchased an extra 128GB SD Card which you can plug into the laptop slot for additional storage since SD cards are super fast and serves as great purpose for additional storage. You cannot upgrade the built-in SSD drive from the laptop.

I returned it and got a Lenovo Yoga. It seems to be much better (except from the backlit keyboard of the XPS). I saw no point in buying something just to send to the factory with a warranty claim. I used to be a fan and recommend Dell to everyone. I will never buy a Dell again.

The dell xps 18 18.4" is silent. It is the best computer I have ever had, particularly because you can use your hand to move up and down, increase or decrease size of print, sound is great.

The dimensions of your XPS 13 are 11.98"W x 7.88"H x 0.60"D. The comment about it being too small are incorrect.

14" Lenovo T410 = No. Rest of it, sure. Over the summer, I've packed shoes, change of clothes, beach blankets, a weeks worth of produce from the farmers market, and more. The issue I think you'd run into with the ThinkPad is the dimensions of the laptop itself and no easy way to position it where it's not going to potentially take some type of impact or hard jounce.

Someone on the notebookreview site ran SIW (System Information for Windows) on the X1, and it said that it does support 8gb. I think we were all thinking that the A1 was "as good or better" than the X1 in every respect. Well, the color depends on personal taste, of course. But better battery and better warranty were certainly an improvement. If it is true that the RAM supported is only 4gb on the A1 and 8gb on the X1, Mr. ASUS should have informed us. Most of us may not need that memory right now, but still, we might choose the X1 instead if this is confirmed. So...can Mr. ASUS tell us the actual truth?

To be honest I prefer the i7 but it depends on which it is I have an ideapad. It has i5.but it's maxed out at only 4 gigs

It's limited capacity with your Dell. It's preferred to use it with a slim fit laptop like "LENOVO X1 CARBON"

The Thinkpad comes with a micro sd slot for expandability purposes. But like most tablets it does not have the ability to expand the memory as its soldered right on to the main board. You will damage it surely if you try to replace it. Your better of looking into the tablets with I5 processors which with enough knowledge you can expand the memory.

X220 should be an ultra notebook laptop, not a tablet. It works in my X220.

If u get the carbon fiber model it is seriously lighter. But wait the dell startup apps brings the performance down.

Keeping XP on a system after support drops is a bad idea, besides W7 runs fine on a T60 with a ram upgrade (mine has 3Gb). Add a small form USB flash drive. W7 will ask if you want to use it to speed up the system... Say Yes. I added a cheep 60Gb SSD and my T60 is as fast as my 1Year old I5 Dell (well almost). I also removed the DVD and added a drive expansion bay with a 500Gb drive. I figure its good for another 3-5 Years.I love the fingerprint scanner ... and so does my wife.
