The Dell XPS 9350 is a slim and beautiful marvel of a laptop. For those who like to work and play in new settings, it should be noted that this powerful laptop is under three pounds and is only 12 inches wide for easy carrying. The average battery life is 18 hours, so you can enjoy plenty of time untethered.
The hard drive is an SSD and offers 128 gigs of storage. For users who plan to install Linux, be aware that you’ll need to change your BIOS (basic input/output settings)from RAID On to AHCI so Ubuntu can recognize the SSD. To do this, you’ll need to go into Update and Security in your Windows Settings and work through the change via the Troubleshooting menu. You’ll need to restart the machine so you can access the UEFI Firmware Settings.
It’s important to note that this is not a gaming computer; you’ll need more memory for that. However, this is a great work and school computer and will run Linux quite effectively.
