I'm thinking of getting one of those Dell laptops that have Ubuntu preinstalled. I was just have a few questions.
1.) How are dell laptops in general? From what I've heard, I wouldn't touch their desktops with a long stick, but I hear the laptops aren't too bad. Any comment on it?
2.) The LCD monitor selection doesn't list resolutions. But from what I've googled, the "15.4 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen SXGA+ Display" has a 1680x1050 resolution. Is that true? I mean, that seems awsome for a 15" screen.
3.) How is the display, the laptop I have right now is an HP, and I'm thinking of returning it. One of the reasons is that the screen is crap (and also the speakers are awful, and the touch pad is possitioned very awkwardly, and also...). I've heard that dell's LCD monitors and TVs are pretty damn good. Did it translate into their laptops?
4.) I'm assuming Linux will be preinstalled with all the drivers and everything?
5.) Will I get any backup CD's with it?
6.) Have you ordered one of the Dell+Linux systems? How did you like it?
