Dell/Ubuntu Inspiron 1525 Review

,----[ Quote ]
| For less than $750, this is a fantastic laptop. I'm very happy with it. My
| other choice was an IBM Thinkpad T61, but I'm glad I went with the Dell. I've
| only had the laptop about 5 days now, but it's performed flawlessly for my
| needs. I think the Dell/Ubuntu laptops are a great combination. Only a few
| small negatives, but they are not a major concern for this laptop. I think
| Dell should include some kind of Ubuntu quick start guide instead of the
| manual that ships. If you're already experienced with Ubuntu, this won't be
| such a big issue, it's more of a concern for users that are new to Ubuntu.

Mint Linux, working straight out of the box

,----[ Quote ]
| This time, I decided to install Linux Mint, a Debian distribution based on
| Ubuntu and focused on multimedia applications. The developpers included some
| proprietary software so that more hardware works and the OS plays Macromedia
| Flash and MPEG straight out of the box.

Dell introduces ten new laptops

,----[ Quote ]
| On is a flash-based barebones Linux install that gets you up and running, on
| the Net, and with much of what you need to run the computer in instantly.
| Dell went to great pains to avoid saying the L-word though, it might anger
| the very touchy gods atop mount Redmond.

Are “instant on” notebooks the future?

,----[ Quote ]
| If I think about my normal notebook usage patterns, I’m pretty sure I could
| spend a good 80 - 90% of my time in the instant on environment and only boot
| into Windows when I needed to do something specifically Windows-centric. In
| fact, given a properly set up Linux distro as the main OS (which should be a
| snap to set up since these systems would/should already be Linux-compatible
| because they are running the Linux-based instant on OS ) which would allow me
| to handle Microsoft Office docs, and a VPN, I could do away with having
| Windows on the system altogether and simply connect to a secondary
| Windows-based PC when I wanted that functionality (when on the road I rarely,
| if ever, need to run anything heavy such as Photoshop).

Dell’s comeback machine

,----[ Quote ]
| 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.)

Dell's Ubuntu Laptops

| The non-free drivers necessary to support the modem and the wireless network
| card were pre-installed. No preinstalled third-party junk, either, which is a
| refreshing change from Dell's Windows machines.
