I'm really sorry to hear this - I had a kidney stent put in a couple of years ago, but I was quite fortunate that it was only ever so mild discomfort, although my body at the time was recovering from my ruptured appendix so maybe that distracted me? What have you been given for the pain?

I'm very much looking forward to this talk, it was awesome when I saw it at #oggcamp last year, and #WiTNotts is very fortunate to have Rachel Morgan-Trimmer speak!

I recently asked if anyone I knew had one of the new models but got no responses (via my blog, or Twitter).

I've got an XPS 13 9343 and love it - largely form factor, but also the 3K screen - and have been wondering about upgrading recently, in part due to USB-C and fingerprint sensor, not for any other reason.

According to the Arch Wiki entry for the new XPS it's mostly alright, but doesn't seem to have fingerprint support.

May be that it needs to get upstreamed by the folks at Ubuntu.

In case it's a point of interest, the highest-end one has a 4K screen (RRP £1768.00)

I'd say go for the slightly newer one, with the caveat that if you stick with the Ubuntu build it comes with, it'll probably be alright, but if you want to re-install/install a different OS, it'll likely not work as well, and may require a more up-to-date kernel - as I decided to use Arch at the time it meant I always had the latest kernels, so as they added support for the drivers upstream, I was getting them pretty quickly, whereas friends with non-cutting edge kernels didn't have as much luck.

I really do recommend Dell for the XPS based on my existing one, and would be very interested to see how you get on with it, if you do get it, so it can inform my decision to buy one while I'm in quarantine and don't need my laptop to be as functional as I would if I were travelling.

Folks who follow my blog's #Microformats feed will now see the context (as an h-cite) that is visible on my site, allowing you to have some context for at least interactions with Twitter, but hopefully other stuff in the future!
