As I write this ( on my external keyboard because the H key on my MBP failed ) I am preparing to erase my mac in the morning, when i pick up my XPS13.
I've been a Mac user for over ten years but I'm sick of Apples form over function approach to hardware, plus whoever signed off this keyboard mechanism design needs firing.

By this time tomorrow I'll be using Linux for my daily driver, and I can't wait.

great, which model you gonna buy then?
I saw that dell provides new xps 13 with 16:10 ratio, it looks beautiful, but the price is a bit high

Its through work so no worries about the cost :D I opted for the one with Windows on, so i can erase it. There was a 2 week wait time on the preinstalled with Ubuntu models.

Funny thing though, the DAY AFTER I ordered it, Dell launched their 2020 model :P
