Does this mean you can buy a dell without paying for the Windows license?
- Vinnl 9y agoYes, and you've actually been able to for quite a few years - these are just the newest models continuing that tradition.
- slitaz 9y agoYes. When you select to configure your Dell, you can see how much you save when choosing Ubuntu.
- linkmotif 9y agoIs this a special section of the site or something? I’ve heard this for years but when I’ve looked around in the past I never did seem to find it. Especially configurations that show you how much you saved!! Huge thing keeping me from buying a PC is paying for Windows. I’d prefer no part of my purchase go to the Windows license. Hard for me to stomach paying for Windows just to buy a computer.
- chucksmash 9y agoIt used to be marketed as "Project Sputnik" and was harder to find (I sort of remember you had to start the configuration from a specific page and what a pain it was to hunt around to find it). I just bought another Precision 5xxx in September and the option was right where you'd expect it to be in their configurator though.
- pjmlp 9y agoIn Germany you actually pay extra for the XPS 13 models with Ubuntu. http://www.dell.com/de-de/shop/notebooks-und-ultrabooks/xps-13-9360-laptop/spd/xps-13-9360-laptop?~ck=bt http://www.dell.com/de-de/shop/notebooks-und-ultrabooks/xps-... Windows 10 Home, 1 298.99 € Ubuntu, 1 329.00 €
