Dell XPS 14 with Omarchy: a real build from our bench

This is a real Dell XPS 14 (DA14250, Core Ultra 7 255H, graphite) going through Omarchy setup on our bench. No renders and no staged product shots, just the machine, the installer and the first boot.

  • Ships fully updated.
  • Fingerprint reader built into the power button, tested working on Linux (Omarchy and Ubuntu). Enabled during setup.
  • Ubuntu LTS is the default; Omarchy and 25+ other distros are available when you order.
