Of course there isn't anything stopping you buying a standard Dell notebook and just getting shot of Windows. I'm amazed how cheap they're getting. I spec'd up a dual core Athlon 64 desktop with 19" TFT monitor for about £275 inc VAT & delivery (the delivery was the killer at £60!!!). Personally I wouldn't buy a Dell after the problems we've had at work with the Optiplex GX270, GX280, GX620 and now GX745 desktops (blown capacitors on the 270's, duff PSU's on the rest of em), plus my work laptop has had a replacement wireless card after it stopped working after a year. I do think it's good what Dell are doing though. Just hope it filters through to other companies and countries.
