"Sputnik mode"?

https://sputnik.github.io/

Sputnik mode = Laptop loaded with Ubuntu (Developer's Edition)

Shame about the price and the inability to put more than 8GB in it. (and the fact that dell are still stupid about global availability)

It's a nice laptop... but underspec'd for me. I'd like to see USB-C and more than 1920 x 1080 resolution. I don't care as much about the resolution on a 13" screen. But I'd like to be able to drive a 4K monitor. It's not clear to me whether it can drive a 4K monitor with its display port.

There's an optional 3200x1800 resolution display.

Also, unless Dell have done something very strange it should be able to drive 4K, although I haven't found any confirmation.

What's got USB-C other than the Macbooks released yesterday? If it catches on it might be nice in the future, but unless you're daisy-chaining expensive laptops...
