Best laptop I have ever had and I have had macbooks. I&amp;#x27;m running Fedora 29 on it and it works perfect. The battery life is amazing, I&amp;#x27;m seeing about 10+ hours while running Gnome and a bunch of dev tools. Made sure to pick one without a nvidia GPU. The only thing I can fault it for is you can&amp;#x27;t open the hinge with one hand.</text><parent_chain><item><author>forgot-my-pw</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m considering getting a Dell XPS or Lenovo Ideapad instead and install macos (hackintosh laptop).</text></item><item><author>brian-armstrong</author><text>Well, there&amp;#x27;s no way that&amp;#x27;s going to happen.

I&amp;#x27;m still not liking the XPS with Kubuntu 18.04 - to the extent that I&amp;#x27;m seriously considering switching back to Apple.  At this point, I&amp;#x27;ve got all the major issues sorted (like, not going to sleep when closed, docking station weirdness, etc), but there are constant smaller issues with the sort of things that &amp;quot;just work&amp;quot; with Apple hardware and MacOS.&lt;p&gt;Hardware wise - it&amp;#x27;s most of the way to being a great laptop, but has a few aspects that seem &amp;quot;designed by committee&amp;quot;.  The 4K screen looks really nice, keyboard is pretty good, it&amp;#x27;s quite fast, battery life is good.  But, the trackpad is massively irritating - it&amp;#x27;s constantly picking up the heel of my hands while typing and causing the cursor to jump and click.  The webcam is terribly located, the TB16 dock is a piece of junk, speakers only sound OK if you&amp;#x27;re working on a hard surface.  They still use a barrel connector for power - would&amp;#x27;ve preferred to get power over USB-C (which the dock uses to provide power), and have a second USB-C port on the laptop.&lt;p&gt;There are several issues with Linux support - if you&amp;#x27;re successful making an XPS Hackintosh, then those won&amp;#x27;t be a problem, but I&amp;#x27;d encourage getting the lower resolution screen if you&amp;#x27;re considering the Linux route.</text><parent_chain><item><author>forgot-my-pw</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m considering getting a Dell XPS or Lenovo Ideapad instead and install macos (hackintosh laptop).</text></item><item><author>brian-armstrong</author><text>Well, there&amp;#x27;s no way that&amp;#x27;s going to happen.
