Yesterday, October 5, the sixth generation of XPS 13 Developer Edition It was put on sale in Europe, the United States and will soon do so in Canada. The PC arrives with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed by default, so it will have support for updates and security patches until April 2021, which does not mean that the next version of Ubuntu that will be released within a week cannot be installed.
The XPS 13 Developer Edition is not a computer that we can say will be short of resources. But it was better to come with great specifications or else few users, developers or not, were going to spend the about $ 1.000 that the device costs. Below you have the specifications of the latest computer to reach the family of the operating system developed by Canonical.

In Europe, the XPS 13 Developer Edition will be available in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Norway and Sweden. If we take into account how the currency is converted when crossing the ocean, we can think that in Europe we can buy this computer for a price of at least € 1.350. It should not surprise us if the shadow of Brexit makes the cheapest model, the i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of hard disk, cost € 1.500 in Europe, although I hope to be wrong by a lot.
With these prices, and with this I am not saying that it is not worth it, the logical thing would be leave this computer to developers who need everything it offers. Non-developers get by with normal computers at a much lower price. Do not you think?
