apparently this is a documented issue with the XPS 12 and I might be hosed, dell support hung up on me while instructing me to run the built in diagnostics, I wonder if anyone has any experience replacing the bios chips on these machines? I have experience soldering and am wondering if I should...

so I tried using an ubuntu USB drive to see if I could get into an OS at all and had a similar problem except I could see the readout of what was happening: acpi exception ae_aml_infinite_loop was continually popping up, from what I understand it is necessary to update the bios to resolve this...

Man I'm late, so using a usb 2.0 flash drive did not work I am still getting an infinite loading screen after it's loaded the windows files.

It's a Dell XPS 12 9Q23, It's got an i7-3667u and 8GB of RAM, it isn't detecting a hard drive in the bios but that shouldn't stop me from being able to boot into the USB drive. Maybe I'll let it sit for a while and hope it just works, I am using a USB 3.0 drive and I don't see any option in the...

This question is really easy to label as TLDR and move on but bear with me guys. Hey guys! I'm looking for a laptop for school and I've been having a really hard time finding things that meet what I need. Lol. First major Hurdle is I hate Mac. From what I understand, the only real reason...

Actually the review on amazon says that's pretty much what I was looking for! Thanks a bundle mate!
