I found an almost identical Dell Inspiron on ebay but with better specs. It has Windows, but I can easily install Linux Mint instead.

Was only £110, and in good condition.

One of those perhaps.

Although they look like great laptops, and just what I am looking for at present, Ebuyer no longer stock them.


My partner has a Dell Inspiron which is a few years old now, it came preinstalled with Ubuntu, and today it will not boot. Might be just the battery or the PSU, but if the whole laptop is dead, then she needs a new one, so I am looking for a new laptop. The idea is to buy one with Ubuntu pre-installed, or another Linux OS, as then we are certain that the correct hardware drivers will be available and loaded.

Does anyone have any good recommendations, looking in the £300 to £400 price range? Dell still do Ubuntu laptops but they are way more expensive than they used to be (the Inspiron only cost £300).
