High End Dell Laptop powered by Ubuntu

Who says Ubuntu sucks and can’t compete bigtime?
Haha it seems that Dell is proving those critics of Ubuntu, wrong. Dell’s high-end laptop, XPS M1330 comes with pre-installed Ubuntu 7.1 on it and will be coming out in the US by February. With this recent development I see that other computer manufacturers will begin to take a look at what Ubuntu offers. This is just a major breakthrough to the Ubuntu community and I’m really proud to be using one now. For those long time and ever loyal fan of Windows, I dare you to try Ubuntu.

Ever since, I used Dell Laptop. And I find it very durable. I love the Inspiron model. I am looking forward with this new XPS M1330.

Even though PK is obviously trolling, I’ll bite. Ubuntu is just as usable as Windows. It depends highly upon what the user intends to use the laptop for.
