Is there a way to buy a Dell dekstop/laptop with pre-installed Ubuntu?

  • 772

In the near future (probably in the year end sale season), I am going to buy a Dell laptop. Problem is, I am completely pissed off by Microsoft Windows 8, which is almost universally pre-installed in Dell computers. I've heard that there are some desktops/laptops that you can buy from Dell with Ubuntu pre-installed. But, I didn't find such desktop/laptops in Dell official site.

Where is the access point to buy the desktop/laptop from Dell with a pre-installed Ubuntu system? If Ubuntu is not available, could I buy a Dell computer pre-installed with Linux Mint?

Looks like there is a Dell Inspiron 15R (N5110) equipped with Ubuntu LTS12.04, but I didn't find it in Dell official site, and don't where to place the order.

    Yes you can buy Dell laptop with Ubuntu in it but it is expensive ($1300).

    I think this is the only model sold by Dell.

    May be you should consider vendors like System76, Zareason, Los Alamos computers etc.. if you want to buy a laptop with Ubuntu pre-installed.
