The Dell XPS 13 Plus bumps up the power slightly more, giving you a do-it-all Linux laptop. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":4,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":4,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":4,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":253} --><\/p>\n<p> The XPS 13 Plus ships with a 13th-generation Intel Core i7-1360P processor with four Performance cores and eight Efficient cores for a total of 12. Even the lowest-spec version comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, but you can configure the laptop with 32GB RAM and as much as 2TB storage. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":4,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":4,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":4,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":545} --><\/p>\n<p> The screen is configurable as well. The lowest resolution is still a full HD 1920&#215;1200, with 500 nits of brightness. Alternatively, you can choose a 3.5K, 400-nit screen or a 4K, 500-nit version with a resolution of 3840 x 2400. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":4,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":4,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":4,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":775} --><br \/>\n<!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"currentRuleCount\":900,\"actualCount\":775,\"hasActualCountMetThreshold\":true,\"countRemainingForInjection\":125,\"nextBlockCount\":344,\"hasCountRemainingForInjectionMetThreshold\":true,\"nextCount\":1119} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"before\",\"adPosition\":4,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":4,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":4,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":900} --><!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"after\",\"adPosition\":5,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":5,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":4,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"isEarlyInjection\":true,\"actualCount\":0} --><\/p>\n<p> If you choose the version with Linux preinstalled, it comes with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. If you\u2019d rather dual-boot, you can choose Windows 11 Home or Pro and choose your own Linux distribution to install instead. Historically, Dell\u2019s XPS line has been fairly Linux-compatible, so you should be able to install most distributions easily. <\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: character count repeatable. --><!-- Repeatable debug data: {\"injection\":\"none\",\"adPosition\":5,\"startingPoint\":0,\"skipEvery\":null,\"nbrPlacementFilledEachSkip\":5,\"nbrPlacementsScanned\":5,\"ruleCount\":900,\"degradationStartingPoint\":1,\"stopAds\":null,\"actualCount\":219} --><\/p>\n<p> You don\u2019t get much in the way of ports with the XPS 13 Plus, with just two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports, both of which support DisplayPort and Power Delivery.

The final pillar of StarLab&#8217;s commitment to openness is the inclusion of an &#8220;open&#8221; warranty.
