For what it's worth, I've used it for over five hours unplugged and it said it still had a few more hours. However, I haven't actually done a complete battery drain to confirm if the system is accurately tracking how much power is left. With powertop enabled on systemd and all the power-saving tuneables turned on, I can get about eight hours of battery life.
SKYLAKE PROCSSOR UBUNTU ISSUES 1080P
The 1080p screen is beautiful and bright. It always comes up, but sometimes it takes too long. The second isn't an issue so much as an annoyance: In both Fedora and Ubuntu, it sometimes takes 30-90 seconds to connect to Wi-Fi after coming back from sleep mode. Once a week it seems to forget I have "tap to click" turned on and only responds to actual clicking. The only problems I've encountered so far in both Ubuntu and Fedora are minor issues with the touchpad. Upgrading to kernel 4.6 also resolved the screen flickering problem I was having.
SKYLAKE PROCSSOR UBUNTU ISSUES INSTALL
I did the install again, and the computer has been running Fedora 24 without any major issues. On July 1, the kernel 4.6 RPM was released for Fedora 24. I then decided to go back to Ubuntu 16.04 and wait for kernel 4.6 to make its way into Fedora 24.

Fedora 24 shipped with kernel 4.5, so it also had screen flickering issues. The latest and greatest version of Fedora 24 came out June 21, and I installed it the very same day. After some research, this thread gave me a couple of different ways to solve the problem.Īfter a week or so running Ubuntu, it was time for me to install Fedora.
SKYLAKE PROCSSOR UBUNTU ISSUES DRIVERS
When I wiped the hard drive and installed Ubuntu 16.04, I noticed the native Intel video drivers for Ubuntu 16.04 the XP 13 screen suffered from random flickers, which was really annoying. Ubuntu 14.04 runs pretty smoothly on it, which shouldn't be much of a shocker since they are shipping it with it. I decided to play with Ubuntu for a few days before installing Fedora on it. Unlike my Asus UX305, I didn't have to dual boot or remove Windows with this laptop.

The only "negative" feedback I have about the hardware is that Dell ended up putting the webcam on the lower left corner of the screen, so if you start typing your hands will block it. It also has a USB-C port and SD card slot. It's relatively more expansive than the ASUS UX305UA and a bit cheaper than the Thinkpad T460s, but has comparable specs.


The XPS 13 DE comes with 8GB RAM, a 250GB SSD, and an Intel Core i5 Skylake processor. (Especially given that they are selling a machine with Linux pre-installed.)
