   * The processor has more than enough power for all things I do with it. It even makes me do more on the notebook rather than using the desktop.
   * RAM and disk space are more than enough for me as this is not my primary system. The speed is as expected and I am sure it will serve me well for quite some time.
-  * As a true Linux user I tend to use the keyboard more often than the mouse/touch pad and even though the travel is really shallow (usually I prefer [[https://www.cherrymx.de/en/products/mx-blue.html|Cherry MX Blue]]) it still is astonishing precise and it feels nice to type on.

   * Speaking of the keyboard: the <Home> and <End> keys are not somewhere hidden under a <Fn> key but are their own keys. Great!
   * The touch pad has a nice feel and is very precise as well. I like the three finger tap as middle click which is very useful in Linux (this may be a KDE feature however).

 Many information sources will tell you to to update to the latest BIOS. This is not actually necessary but I recommend doing that anyway. Upgrading the BIOS on the XPS 13 is easy, just place the BIOS executable in the EFI partition ''/boot/efi'' (Linux makes life a lot easier than Windows ;-)) and on boot you can press <F12> for the one time boot menu to choose "BIOS Flash Update". There you browse to the file and start flashing (don't forget to attach the power supply).
-Some preliminaries are outlined in the several information sources already, I will summarize the important stuff. By the way, I always refer to BIOS when I mean the UEFI Firmware Setup because BIOS makes the language more fluent ;-)

   * In the BIOS set the SATA operation mode to AHCI instead of RAID (when Ubuntu is pre-installed this should already be the case).
   * In the BIOS disable Secure Boot as Debian does not (yet) support this.
