Hi John,

I paid £299 including VAT and delivery for an Ubuntu Inspiron 1525
from the UK site in April. A friend has just bought the same model
(with a bigger hard disk) for the same price.

I chose all the basic options, which kept the cost down, but I'm very
happy with it.

HTH

Cofion/Regards,
Neil.
