I like my Dell XPS 13 (2.9 lbs) with 13.3" and 1920x1080
resolution and it actually came with Ubuntu (which I promptly stripped for Fedora) which
also meant that I did not have to pay the Windoze tax.
Yes, they look really nice! Was browsing them yesterday. Unfortunately
a bit over budget as not my main computer and wont be getting loads of
use.
