Dell XPS 9360
- Year introduced: April 2017
- This is my day-to-day laptop and it's excellent.
- Super small and light and comfortable.
- Everything the old macbooks used to be - physical security lock, escape key, external battery power check...
1. Hardware
- CPU: 7th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-7560U Processor (4M Cache, up to 3.8 GHz)
- Ethernet: use an external USB for wired ethernet
- Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 620
- * WARNING: some users report a "coil whine" from Intel GPUs. Either this won't bother you (mine's periodic and quiet) or you may need to replace the unit.
- Memory: 16GB LPDDR3 1866MHz
Screen: 13.3" FHD AG (1920 x 1080) InfinityEdge display, Non-touch
- Storage: 512GB NVMe PCIe Solid State Drive

- At the time there was no Atheros support in CURRENT for the Killer Wireless, which has since changed. I'm using an after-market Intel 8265 and haven't switched back yet.
