#xps13

What a beautiful suprise on my #kde desktop this week! 😍 Looks amazing on the
#xps13 OLED. https://twitter.com/louisdurrant/status/1130838002094301184

First problem: can't set the OLED brightness in Arch Linux. #xps13

After 6 years I've got a replacement for my XPS 13 (9320). First impressions:
the OLED is beautiful, feels like 15% more screen, keyboard and trackpad are
great, too. The device itself feels much smaller, albeit it's just a few mm
smaller. #xps13

I'm happy to return my #xps13 to my former employer. The quirks made it an OK
machine, but I never enjoyed working with it.

.@Spotify on #XPS13 … X-|

The #xps13 can't connect to some WiFis … just sticks at "assigning IP address".

.@augustl Yes, a kernel problem. But Wifi and net
works fine after boot, so no problem. The firmware is there, just a different
file. #xps13

With external display attached, the #xps13 goes black for a few ms, roughly
every 10mins. Nothing in dmesg to suggest, why.

Because the camera position is so awkward, I've ordered an external one for my
home setup. #xps13 /status/809672242217029634

So, I've been working on the device taking notes on a workshop all day, after
<5hrs I'm out of battery. So no way near 12hrs. #xps13

Uhm, wat? #xps13 refuses to start. Disconnecting it from the docking station
helps.

Just noticed: the touchpad has a roughly 0.5mm slant from left to right. The
left edge reaches above the hand rest level. #xps13

Booting with headphones plugged in = no sound. Remove and plug-in again = sound.
#xps13

@jke the latest Lenovo and their support, that's why
I went for the #xps13.

Removed xf86-input-synaptics and installed xf86-input-libinput. #xps13

New strange behavior: The touchpad gets stuck in scrolling mode … Happened now
the second time. #xps13

The glass touchpad is super nice, but the black color let's you see smudges
easily. #xps13

First presentation duty for the #xps13 ... Setup was flawless.

It can't open too 180+ degrees, not really needed, but that requires more
caution when handling it. #xps13

#xps13 compared to #surface4

Unfortunately you can switch the Left Ctrl with left FN key:

#xps13

Changing from Hibernation to Suspend, makes it wake-up again properly. #xps13

After hibernation, system does not come back to live. #xps13

.@qutic I don't know, never worked on the Retina
MBPs. #xps13

.@qutic Yes, Arch. #xps13

It's rated 45W. #xps13 @pfhllnts

Runtime remaining 2:40 on a full charge, let's see … #xps13

@Velocet nein. Aber das #xps13 hat zwei normale
USB Ports, also genug um noch ein Handy zu laden.

Oh, the tiny charger is also nice! #xps13

Comparing #x230 to #xps13

The laptop is named vigilant, btw. Because this is my computer naming scheme:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacecraft_in_the_Matrix_series #xps13

WiFi speed is ~10MB/s, that's also great! #xps13

4k YouTube Videos are beautiful on that screen. #xps13

Fixed the tilt. #xps13

Buttery video playback. Nice! (Hardware acceleration enabled). #xps13

.@pfhllnts we'll, it's not my main work tool.
@zentrale_ffm I'm using a desktop. Expect
more tweets during the weekend. #xps13

This helps a lot, because I run it on the external monitor. Mouse cursor is
huge, though. #xps13

You can force chromium to use a different device scale factor: chromium
--force-device-scale-factor=1 #xps13

Needs more tilt. #xps13

#xps13

Using xrandr foo like
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI#Multiple_displays to fix mixing
HiDPI and regular displays, crashes quickly.
https://gist.github.com/wvengen/178642bbc8236c1bdb67 #xps13

Sound output via HDMI works, too. Now I have four was to play sound. #xps13

Using Plugable USB-C dock, there are no noises. Worked out of the box. Switching
between internal and dock via pavucontrol seamless. #xps13

Noise on internal headphone jack is very audible, coil whine, too. #xps13

Terminus console font installed, now I can read the boot output without
squinting. #xps13

back to intel driver, because Chrome was not rendering correctly. #xps13

Disabled the xf86-video-intel because it crashes with hardware accelleration
enabled. Now on kernel modeselect. #xps13

Often hitting the wrong keys. No pg-up, small enter and switched fn+Ctrl keys
compared to lenovo. #xps13

Total length of power cord is 3+m. 👏 #xps13

Nice, BIOS is at latest patch level (1.0.7). #xps13

#XPS13 now running with full encrypted root, all stuff working out of the box on
Arch Linux.

mkfs on LUKS encrypted volume is really slow at writing inodes … #xps13

rebooting ubuntu takes ages. #xps13

The USB-C travel adapter I bought http://amzn.to/2gz9vDc works out of the box:
HDMI, VGA, Ethernet. #XPS13

It's a start. #xps13

Will install ArchLinux with Full Disk Encrption, of course. #xps13

Keyboard and Display (QHD) are awesome. #xps13

The Ubuntu setup wizard does not allow to connect to open WiFis. #xps13

After wake from sleep, the display touch no longer works. #xps13 on Ubuntu.

#XPS13 arrived. Expect some tweets about it in the coming days.
