A Developer Edition (with Linux preloaded) will come at some point.

Currently there are driver issues of which the non-working audio is most persistent. Most elaborate info on it here:

In this Reddit thread...

...you find comment from barton808, who identifies himself as the Team Lead of Sputnik (= XPS13 Linux), and gives away that they are waiting/working on the same issues (to be resolved).

I think it will make a great laptop. I currently own an XPS13 old version, and think it is just a bit short of Apple hardware. I've heard this new one should be up to par with Apple's hardware while having an eventually more compatible hardware stack.

It will probably be the most powerful Linux-preinstalled ultrabook on the market, when releaed.

Fingers crossed it may be released soon. :)
