Dell XPS 13 9360 - Late 2017 8th Gen CPU (in Progress)
[General warning, this isn't a newbie or step-by-step instruction on how to do this. If you follow this blindly or don't know what a command does you might wipe something value on your system] Background I love my Sager monster laptop but with a current draw of 130W, I can't plug into a car or air plane electrical outlet. And only 1 hour per battery makes long flights a real chore as shutting down mid-operation is a pain. So I decided to get a new very portable laptop for coding and perhaps a little light gaming, but most importantly chargeable on a plane or in a car. I looked around and read a lot and ended up deciding to go with the Dell XPS 13. The reviews helped but more importantly Dell supported Linux out of the box. I started monitoring the prices and watching for any kind of deal on an XPS 13 Developer Edition. Then Dell threw me a curve, Dell updated the 9360 to use the (oddly?) named 8th generation CPU with more cores buy lower base clock. Co
