In short: I am very happy with it. Only one thing I need to get use too: type with hand palms up in the air, otherwise they hit the large mouse pad and unintentially click.

Despite the 13.3″ screen it’s actually much closer in size to an 11″ MBA than to the 13″. Check it out:

Unfortunately we dont have any current plans to offer the XPS 13 developer edition (Sputnik) in Singapore. That being said we are always tracking customer demand and will review accordingly.

thanks,
Barton

Good day. I asked a Dell SG rep online and said Sputnik is NOT coming to Singapore. Is this true?

It can be a solution with an adapter (to spare space), but it must be a full-featured ethernet port (GBit).
I agree that the Intel HD4600 or HD5200 should be sufficent.

I just wish that in addition it will have RJ-45 network port or at least Linux compatible docking station solution. The dedicated GPU is not that important, as the Intel HD 4000 is just enough for laptop use.

Still waiting. I hope to receive it before the 25/04/2013.

Thanks!!

I ordered my sputnik2 in Spain the 05/04/2013 but the estimated delivery date is 25/04/2013, why? Are you receiving a lot of orders?

Anyway, I’ll wait…

Thanks

Wanted specs: 15″, matte display in 1920×1200 IPS, HDMI or DP, i7 (Haswell), 16GB, 512GB-SDD, Ethernet, USB3, no DVD, WLAN, Bluetooth, WebCam, HD-Audio, big accu/battery, big touchpad, small profile, max 2kg. (If a dedicated GPU [preferrable Radeon] is incorporated you should be able to turn in off in the BIOS! Optional add thunderbold interface.)

Just been dreaming ;-)

We’re looking into it now but don’t have any timelines yet.

My six year old machine is really starting to deteriorate and it would be nice to know what sort of wait can be expected.

I’d like to buy a new laptop as mine is already 2 years old. Looks like the specs are really good, while the design is beautiful. :)
