Hello Dell,first let me say: Thanks for giving people the chance to participate in your product development and for this great idea of a developer Ultrabook.My idea is simple: Give us better display with higher resolution.If I want to develop on a laptop with this lowcost 1366*768px resolution, I don't need to spend 900$+ to do this. So to make it short: PLEASE give us a matte display with a resolution of at least 1600*900px.Thank you.

Just don't make it more expensive than the Windows version

I bought a laptop from Dell back when they were still selling the Ubuntu option.  I intended to run Ubuntu, but when I was selecting the options, I saw that (for some reason I don't fully understand) the Ubuntu version was more expensive.  Maybe the extra cost was in assumed support, but regardless it strikes the brain strange to charge MORE for a free OS than for a paid one.  I figured I'd save money and have a Windows license in case, so that's I bought it with Windows and then just install Ubuntu.  Had it been the same cost or lower I would have bought Ubuntu.  Don't shoot yourself in the foot here by charging extra for this stuff, especially when targeting developers.  We still glorify the self-built, self-modded setup, so I wouldn't bet on being able to charge extra for "ease-of-use".

Better screen

Laptop for developer needs to be ergonomic, allowing for long hours workin with code without causing much strain on eyesight. Working with glossy screen in office environment is just terrible. Also, TN screen is subpar.  So the ideas for the screen are:- must have matte as option (or even default)- must be IPS- optional 14" model- 16:10 aspect ratio (instead of current 16:9)- should have better resolution (at least 1440x900 for 13", higher resolutions as options)
