I'm not a huge fan of the kind of laptops Dell sells with Linux on them (thin, poorly ventilated ultraportable donglebooks) or super loyal to the Dell brand or whatever. However, I will say that their Linux laptops I've used have been fine executions of their concepts, and the Linux support, including for firmware updates, has been problem-free even though I don't run the stock OS. They're a good choice for Linux laptops if thin and light ultraportables are your style.
