I'm thinking of picking up a Dell 5520, preinstalled with U-16.04.

Does anyone have any experience with Dells? Any issues upgrading to newer releases? What about using Xubuntu on it?

Also, any issues installing over? I like to have an encrypted drive-- I think that will require a reinstall. Wondering if there are any sage words of advice?

The decision came down to the Dell, a ThinkPad T470, or a System76 Gazelle. While I really like my current System76 Galago, the Gazelle is heavier by a fair amount. The problem with the ThinkPad is that it doesn't come preinstalled (which leaves me concerned about support) and I can't get it with the drive configuration I want (SSD for OS and 2 TB HD for data etc.). But I'm willing to hear suggestions...
