Is Dell still offering those? I cannot find anything. For example this dell page has no current offerings: http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/555/campaigns/dell-li

Yeah, I'm puzzled as well. Upon reading the article, I tried to find Linux notebooks via their homepage (i.e. by starting at dell.com), but found nothing.

  Are you on the US site or another? If I go to the US site, the option for an ubuntu flavour isn't there. If you go to the UK version: http://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptop-and-2-in-1-pcs/xps-13/spd/xps-13-9360-laptop http://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptop-and-2-in-1-pcs/xps-13/... They are available at the end of the carousel showing the fitout options.

  Go to dell.com/developers . Dell's site is quite a disaster in general. It boggles the mind how hard it is for this giant corporations (Dell, Lenovo, HP) to make a halfway usable website.

    None of the 15" Precision series laptops linked from that page seem to be available with Linux on their dedicated sales pages... Weird. Edit: they don't list Linux as being available until you go to "Customize and Buy".

      Yes, poor websites. It's also hard to find a xeon-m + ecc memory without nvidia being added as a punishment. 7520 is the only one with such a config, and even that is a bad fit with other compromises.

Search for "Developer Edition" and you'll find several. I don't know why, but I imagine Dell might be avoiding showing them on the front page lest someone inadvertently order an Ubuntu laptop.
