Dell has started taking orders for desktop and laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed. Congratulations to Canonical, Dell, and the Ubuntu Community. I have been considering getting the Inspiron E1505 N laptop, and I like what I see.

Dell Inspiron E1505 N

  • Intel® Pentium® dual-core proc T2080(1MB Cache/1.73GHz/533MHz FSB
  • Ubuntu Edition version 7.04
  • 15.4 inch Wide Screen XGA Display with TrueLife™(glossy)
  • 512MB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz, 2 DIMM
  • 80GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive
  • 24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive
  • 53 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
  • Intel PRO/Wireless 3945a/g
  • Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
  • Integrated Audio

I’m very glad they went with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and Intel PRO/Wireless 3945a/g. The rest of the Inspiron 1505 line uses a ATI X1400 card, which does have certain issues.
