Dell XPS 13 7390 Review: The Best Laptop For Desktop Linux Users
======
[![][1]][2]
[![][1]][2]
Gone are the days when we had to do a lot of research and read a lot of reviews to find a machine that would work with the least amount of trouble with the desktop Linux distribution of choice. Today, almost every machine out there can run Linux. The kernel community has done an incredible job with device driver support to make everything work out of the box.
Still, there are machines that can run Linux, and then there are machines that run Linux. Dell machines fall in the latter category. Five years ago, Barton George started a program within Dell to bring desktop Linux to consumer grade, high-end Dell systems. What started as one machine is now an entire line of high-end laptops and desktops.
Among these machines, XPS 13 is my favorite. While I need a really powerful desktop to handle my 4K UHD, multicam video production, I also need an ultra-portable laptop that I can bring with me anywhere without having to worry about a bulky backpack and charger. XPS 13 was also my very first laptop, which lasted me more than 7 years. So, yes, there is that nostalgic factor, too.
Dell updates the XPS line almost every year and the latest [rollout was announced in October][3] (link to video interview). [XPS 13 (7390)][4] is an incremental update to the series, and Dell was kind enough to send me a review unit.
It is powered by a 6-core, Core i7-10710U CPU. It comes with 16GB of memory and 1TB SSD. At the base frequency of 1.10 GHz, which can boost to 4.1 GHz, this is a great machine for average workloads. It doesnt have any dedicated GPU, so its not meant for gaming or compiling from source for Gentoo Linux or Arch Linux. However, I did manage to run some Steam games on it.
If you are looking to run your Kubernetes clusters, AI frameworks or Virtual Reality, then there are more powerful machines from the Precision line, which are certified to run Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu.
The machines chassis is identical to the previous generation. The bezels remains as thin as they were in the previous generation, still thinner than MacBook and Microsofts Surface Pro.
It has three ports, two of which are USB-C Thunderbolt 3, which can be used to connect to 4K monitors, USB accessories, and high-speed data transfer between machines with peer-to-peer networking.
It also has a microSD slot. As a video journalist, a slot for an SD card would have been more useful. Heavy users of Raspberry Pis would also love this card.
It has 4 microphones and an improved camera, which is now located at the top (goodbye, nosecam!).
XPS 13 (7390) is sleek and slim. At 2.7 lbs, it is certainly comparable to Apples MacBook Air. This machine is meant to be your travel companion and for everyday tasks like checking emails, browsing the web, and writing.
Its 4K UHD screen supports HDR, which means you will be able to enjoy Mandalorian in all its full glory. That said, the on-board speakers are not that great and sound muffled. They are OK for video chats or casual YouTube viewing, but if you want to enjoy the The Witcher later this year, or if you want to enjoy music from Amazon, Apple Music or YouTube Music, you need headphones or external speakers.
But how much fun can you get out of this machine before you reach for charging cable? It gave me around 7-8 hours of battery life with average workload: browsing the web with a few tabs, just watching a movie or listening to music. Multi-tasking, especially any kind of web activity, will drain the battery. Some fine-tuning on Linux may give you even more life. On Windows 10, I was able to get more than 10 hours!
As a video journalist who is still doing a fair amount of writing, I really like the keyboard. However, the trackpad is the same story that we have been hearing on desktop Linux for ages: its nowhere near the quality on MacBook or Windows machines. Maybe one day. To Dells credit, they do release drivers for the trackpad that enhances the experience, but I am not running the stock Ubuntu 18.04 LTS that came with this system. I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.10 because Gnome is painfully slow in 18.04. I tried openSUSE Tumbleweed, Zorin OS, elementary OS, Fedora, KDEs neon and Arch Linux. All worked, although some needed extra effort to run.
So, who is this system for? Its certainly for professionals who want a well designed, high-end machine from a brand they can trust. Its for those who like a MacBook Air, but prefer the desktop Linux ecosystem. Its for those who want to use Linux for work, instead of working on it to make it work.
Spending a week with this machine reinforced why I love Dells XPS series so much. They are the best Linux laptops out there. And this XPS 13 (7390) packs a punch.

Dell XPS 13 7390最好的 Linux 桌面笔记本
======
![][1]
曾经,我们必须进行大量研究、阅读大量评论,才能找到一种在所选的 Linux 桌面发行版上可以以最少的麻烦工作的机器。而如今,这种日子已经一去不复返了,几乎每台机器都可以运行 Linux。Linux 内核社区在设备驱动程序支持方面做得非常出色,可以使一切都开箱即用。
不过,有的是机器可以运行 Linux有的是运行 Linux 的机器。戴尔计算机属于后一类。五年前Barton George 在戴尔内部启动了一项计划,将桌面版 Linux 引入到消费级的高端戴尔系统。从一台机器开始,现在已经是一整套高端的 Linux 笔记本电脑和台式机。
在这些机器中XPS 13 是我的最爱。尽管我需要一个功能强大的台式机来处理 4K UHD、多机位视频制作但我还需要一台超便携的笔记本电脑可以随身携带而不必担心笨重的背包和充电器。XPS 13 也是我的第一台笔记本电脑,使用了 7 年多。因此,是的,这还有一个怀旧因素。
戴尔几乎每年都会更新其 XPS 产品线,并且最新的[产品展示宣布于 10 月][3]。[XPS 137390] [4] 是该系列的增量更新,而且戴尔非常乐意向我寄来一台测评设备。
它由 6 核 Core i7-10710U CPU 所支持。它配备 16GB 内存和 1TB SSD。在 1.10 GHz 的基本频率(可以超频到 4.1 GHz的情况下这是一台用于常规工作负载的出色机器。它没有使用任何专用的 GPU因此它并不适合进行游戏或从源代码进行编译的 Gentoo Linux 或 Arch Linux。但是我确实设法在上面运行了一些 Steam 游戏。
如果你想运行 Kubernetes 集群、AI 框架或虚拟现实,那么 Precision 系列中还有更强大的机器,这些机器可以运行 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 和 Ubuntu。
该机器的底盘与上一代相同。边框保持与上一代一样的薄,仍比 MacBook 和微软的 Surface Pro 薄。
它具有三个端口,其中两个是 USB-C Thunderbolt 3可用于连接 4K 显示器、USB 附件以及用于对等网络的计算机之间的高速数据传输。
它还具有一个 microSD 插槽。作为视频记者SD 卡插槽会更有用。大量使用树莓派的用户也会喜欢此卡。
它具有 4 个麦克风和一个改进的摄像头,该摄像头现在位于顶部(再见,鼻孔摄像头!)。
XPS 137390光滑纤薄。它的重量仅为 2.7 磅1.2kg),可以与苹果的 MacBook Air 相提并论。 这台机器可以成为你的旅行伴侣,并且可以执行日常任务,例如检查电子邮件、浏览网络和书写。
其 4K UHD 屏幕支持 HDR这意味着你将可以尽享全尺寸的《The Mandalorian》。另外车载扬声器并没有那么好听起来有些沉闷。它们适合进行视频聊天或休闲的 YouTube 观看但是如果你想在今年晚些时候观看《The Witcher》剧集或者想欣赏 Amazon、Apple Music 或 YouTube Music 的音乐,则需要耳机或外接扬声器。
但是,在插入充电线之前,你可以从这台机器中获得多少乐趣?在正常工作量的情况下,它为我提供了大约 7-8 个小时的电池续航时间:我打开了几个选项卡浏览网络,只是看看电影或听音乐。多任务处理,尤其是各种 Web 活动,都会消耗电池电量。在 Linux 上进行一些微调可能会给你带来更多的续航时间。而在 Windows 10 上,我可以使用 10 多个小时呢!
作为仍在从事大量写作工作的视频记者,我非常喜欢键盘。但是,我们这么多年来在 Linux 台式机上听到的触控板故事一直没变:它与 MacBook 或 Windows 上的质量相差甚远。这或许有一天能改变。值得称道的是,他们确实发布了可增强体验的触控板驱动程序,但我没有运行此系统随附的提供的 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS。我全新安装了 Ubuntu 19.10,因为 Gnome 在 18.04 中的运行速度非常慢。我尝试过 openSUSE Tumbleweed、Zorin OS、elementary OS、Fedora、KDE neon 和 Arch Linux。一切正常尽管有些需要额外的努力才能运行。
那么,该系统适用于谁?显然,这是给那些想要设计精良的、他们信赖的品牌高端机器的专业人士打造的。适用于喜欢 MacBook Air但更喜欢 Linux 台式机生态系统的用户。适用于那些希望使用 Linux 来工作,而不是使 Linux 可以工作的人。
我用这台机器花了一周的时间,进一步说明了为什么我如此喜欢戴尔的 XPS 系列。它们是目前最好的 Linux 笔记本电脑。这款 XPS 137390你值得拥有
