[HacktionLab] HacktionLab Digest, Vol 75, Issue 13

[yossarian]

Just to be a little different: if you want something small and powerful, 
I have had very good success with the Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition.

 From a processing power and physical size point of view, it is roughly 
the same size and weight as a MacBook Air, but with an i7 processor and 
8GB of RAM, it's about halfway to a MacBook Pro.

It comes with Ubuntu 12.04 preloaded, works fine with 14.04, haven't 
tried Debian.

Downsides:

* you may or may not like the 1080 resolution on a 13" screen

* 8GB of RAM is soldered in place, it's not upgradeable, so it's not a 
good Big Data laptop

Yoss
