Dell Inspiron 15 Laptop - Thoughts?

[trentscott4]

Does anyone have experience with the Dell Inspiron 15 laptops? Are they compatible with Jaunty? I'm looking at purchasing a laptop for college -- basic word processing, email, etc.

Dell used to sell the 1525's with Ubuntu preinstalled, so you should be fine.

Kensigation lock will not work, USB will, VGA out could work, Ethernet will work, ExpressCard won't work and the optical drive will work.

I have the 1525 and everything I use worked out of the box on 9.04. Keeping in mind I don't use every port or feature on my laptop.
