I'm looking to purchase a laptop shortly and would much prefer to buy 
a machine with Linux pre-installed but of course choice is limited. I 
was wondering what budget machines are available and recommended. Yes 
I know Dell will sell me one for a sqillion pounds but I'm looking to 
spend about £500.


Thanks

If answer = I don't know ... tell them why you are now walking out of
their store.
If answer = yes... tell them why you love them!
This applies to add-in cards, replacements to failed hardware, a new 
pc, laptop, tablet, anything...
