Thanks for the info! I've been eyeing this hardware as Qubes 4 becomes visible on the horizon - ordering through Dell allows for customizing things to a great degree. I was able to spec out a 1TB SSD, i7 processor, and no fingerprint reader or QHD screen, to save battery and power options! pretty cheap, too - just under 2K with 16GB of RAM. For future reference, because I couldn't find the info anywhere, this machine supposedly has a TPM 2.0 chip (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/d/Dell-XPS-15-9560-Laptop/91076TJJ2WFB/FD4C). Have you been able to get AEM working? And, how is your battery life? It sounds like the Killer AC chip is working ok, since it's just a rebranded Atheros chipset, other than the standby issue - can you confirm? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
