Ah, the Dell Inspiron 6400 which they are selling retails for £359+ depending on features such as memory etc.
The irony of course is that this machine is *no cheaper* than the Vista-loaded equivalent... why are they not prepared to pass on the licence cost saving to the consumer? And who would buy a Ubuntu machine when they can get a Vista machine for the same price (knowing, of course, that a free Ubuntu install can be put on the machine with no problems...)? Way to go, Dell UK :| Pete On 08/08/07, John Dow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 8/7/07, Darren Mansell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > On Tue, 2007-08-07 at 15:37 +0100, Pete Stean wrote: > > > Wonder how they're getting on with enabling all the features on the > > > laptop though - power management etc - are there any caveats I wonder? > > > Pete > > > > My Lenovo "built for Windows" laptop works fine with wifi/ACPI etc. so > > if they've had time to get the BIOS sorted for proper standards rather > > than the Microsoft HCT it should be fine. > > > > FWIW, I've been running Ubuntu on an Inspiron 6000 since breezy and > everything has worked flawlessly, barring the winmodem, of course. > > John > > > > > -- > John Dow < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> > http://www.nelefa.org > > Dreamers come and go, but a dream's forever. > -- > ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk > https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/ > >
