  Now all we need are ultrabooks with linux
  • josteink 14y ago
    Agreed. While I really, really don't like Alienware stuff (too gamery and tacky for my taste), it's nice to see laptops being sold with Linux as a fully supported configuration. A $100 price-reduction due to no Windows license is just icing on the cake. This is hopefully a first move towards Ultrabooks getting the same treatment.

      TBH I would pay full price. I just want to have a laptop that comes with linux out of factory. PD: off-topic, I am tempted to get a cheap chromebook and install linux on it. I am currently researching

Not that Engadget didn't rip it off too. http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct2dell/archive/2013/04/05/ubuntu-os-now-an-option-on-alienware-x51.aspx http://en.community.dell.com/dell-blogs/direct2dell/b/direct...
