[12:13] <horsewhip> Anyone got a Kabylake XPS 13"?
[12:26] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:29] <ducasse> hi BluesKaj
[12:30] <BluesKaj> hi ducasse
[12:30] <ducasse> all good?
[12:30] <BluesKaj> yup, and you ?
[12:30] <ducasse> good, quiet day. really cold out, so staying inside.
[12:33] <BluesKaj> right
[12:35] <ducasse> BluesKaj: how's your weather?
[12:36] <BluesKaj> -11 and clear atm, there?
[12:36] <BluesKaj> sun's is rising
[12:37] <ducasse> a little colder, grey and foggy.
[13:44] <daftykins> horsewhip: i have clients with it
[13:44] <daftykins> own the skylake model myself
[13:47] <BluesKaj> hey daftykins .....?
[13:48] <daftykins> \o skylake (6th gen) and kaby lake (7th gen) intel core CPUs in Dell XPS 13 laptops this is :>
[13:48] <daftykins> 9350 and 9360 models respectively
[14:08] <horsewhip> daftykins: How do you find it? I hear reports of the scaling going awry when connected to external displays.
[14:09] <daftykins> ah well i tell people not to get the QHD models, 1080p is best for battery life
[14:11] <horsewhip> Work are getting me a QHD one.
[14:12] <daftykins> mistake :) scaling fun will result
[14:12] <daftykins> what's your DE of choice?
[14:14] <horsewhip> IntelliJ / Vim / Sublime
[14:15] <daftykins> desktop environment was what i was aiming for :) Unity/KDE/etc
[14:15] <daftykins> i've always heard Unity is good for displays where scaling will be needed
[14:15] <horsewhip> hahah, opps – I'll stick with whatever it ships with.
[14:16] <horsewhip> Unity, I beleive.
[14:16] <daftykins> oh right so it'll be the factory install on the developer edition?
[14:16] <horsewhip> Yup
[14:17] <daftykins> i buy from Dell UK, so the Outlet is amazing for me - dell.co.uk/outlet - i got my XPS13 for £580 delivered when they were £999 new still on the site
[14:17] <horsewhip> I'm UK based too – thanks for the heads up – I'll take a look.
[14:18] <horsewhip> Well, I'll take a look when I want to replace my personal laptop.
[14:18] <daftykins> :>
[14:19] <daftykins> just got a couple of XPS desktops for clients too for £600 delivered, i7 6700/16GB RAM/GTX 960 graphics/256GB M.2 SSD/2TB HDD/etc
[14:19] <daftykins> they really are great at times :>
[14:22] <horsewhip> Although they've got the XPS 13 - 9360 in stock at the outlet store, so might be sooner rather than later!
[14:23] <daftykins> yeah it comes and goes :> once you go into one you get whether it's a "certified refurbished" or a "scratch and dent" which have always had really minor damage for me
[14:29] <horsewhip> hmmmm, with an extra 10% off.
[14:56] <horsewhip> Shame it ships with windows though.
[14:56] <horsewhip> (I'm pretty lazy when it comes to faffing with computers)
[14:58] <daftykins> you could image up the one you're getting from work and just clone it over, then change the hostname and any keys
[15:01] <horsewhip> Surely all the Dell wotnot they ship installed on their Ubuntu laptops exists in a PPA somewhere...
[15:04] <daftykins> yeah i think it's passworded though or something awkward
[15:04] <daftykins> or the key doesn't import - this was ages ago though
[20:53] <EriC^^> hi all
