Very nice to see a 'properly implemented' machine. That particular one 
is a bit pricey for my target audience of potential new Ubuntu users.

I look forward to a machine which is available in UK and also 
available without a Windows OS preinstalled.

It is interesting to speculate about just how I will be able to 
confirm that a chosen machine is, in the event, 'properly implemented'

Even with machines with bios, it has been onerous to determine in 
advance, before purchase, which hardware, particularly laptops, would 
work well out of the box (with Ubuntu). Fortunately, Ubuntu has 
achieved really good compatibility with many machines, and improving. 
It will be important to encourage that trend.

Is anyone in close contact with Novatech enough to know if their 
laptops are similarly 'properly implemented'?
