| Since Dell has recently added several new models to the Ubuntu line, I
| decided to do price comparisons between the Linux and Windows models. I tried
| to get the systems as close as possible, but in a few cases there are very
| minor differences.

| There are some surprises beneath the surface of the Latitude line as well.
| One is an optional Linux-based low-power mode called Dell Latitude On, which
| boots in two seconds. It offers more than a day’s worth of battery life for
| basic tasks like web surfing, Exchange e-mail, and viewing e-mail
| attachments, and runs on an ARM-based (ARMH) chip rather than the main Intel
| processor. (HP and Lenovo laptops offer similar Linux modes, but with fewer
| capabilities.)
