Re: [Arm-netbook] new development laptop needed, looking at dell xps 13 9350

You could get a Gigabyte Aero 14: http://www.xoticpc.com/gigabyte-aero-14.html

2560x1440 14-inch screen, 1.9 kg, but has everything else you wanted at your price point.

There's also the AORUS X3 Plus PC3K4D: http://www.xoticpc.com/aorus-x3-plus-v6-pc3k4d.html

Still misses the weight budget, and is $2000, but it has a smaller higher-res screen and meets all your other expectations.

Sadly, you'll have to pay the Windows tax on either. :/
