XPS 13 developer edition 7th generation available

Lol, scorn, that's a big word. I dislike System76 because they refuse to support European layouts. US only. I am very bitter about it.

I dislike most laptop manufacturers of this day, because they all either:

* Only make touch-screens in 4K

* Don't let you upgrade your RAM.

* Only sell with Windows bundled. Not paying for Windows, no thanks

Dell satisfied only one of those criteria. They are very high in my book. In fact, I am using one of their 4K monitors right now.

I'm glad the Dutch never widely adopted a different keyboard layout. Vowels with diacritics and the € are entered using a software method (dead keys, compose key, etc.) on a standard US keyboard layout.

I agree with you on System76 though. I am in the process of being a Galago Pro, but I really wish they'd open up or partner with a reliable distributor in the EU to lower shipping costs, provide localised keyboard layouts, and avoid having to pay VAT at the door.

Check out tuxedocomputers, you can get a danish or swedish layout and configure the laptops to your liking. They use the same barebones System76 uses.

ggsdata.se sells the same laptop with Swedish keyboard and Linux pre installed.
