Although they look like great laptops, and just what I am looking for at 
present, Ebuyer no longer stock them.


My partner has a Dell Inspiron which is a few years old now, it came 
preinstalled with Ubuntu, and today it will not boot. Might be just the 
battery or the PSU, but if the whole laptop is dead, then she needs a 
new one, so I am looking for a new laptop. The idea is to buy one with 
Ubuntu pre-installed, or another Linux OS, as then we are certain that 
the correct hardware drivers will be available and loaded.

Does anyone have any good recommendations, looking in the £300 to £400 
price range? Dell still do Ubuntu laptops but they are way more 
expensive than they used to be (the Inspiron only cost £300).
