Ask HN: Why the $200 Overhead on Dell XPS Laptops with Linux?
by MikeBVaughn on Hacker News.
I’m not complaining, I’m just genuinely curious. When speccing out an XPS 13 Developer Edition, switching the OS from Windows to Linux bumps the price up by $200. Is it subsidizing whatever work had to go into validating that the OS works as expected on that model?
