The Dells that come with Ubuntu are a lot cheaper at almost half the price. Wonder why their prices are so high with a free OS.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Yeah they look to be better hardware, but not twice as good to justify the double price tag. I'm no hardware expert by far though so take that with a grain of salt.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.
