I don't understand what you mean.  This is a computer specifically
designed for people who merely want to get on the Internet, browse
around, write emails, and print office documents.  It is not a gaming
PC.  I don't think it should be considered a "throw-away computer" at
all!

Additionally, maybe people don't like having to install Ubuntu
themselves.  We are seeing more and more Ubuntu-preinstalled machines
popping up from various vendors, presumably because they got the
"thumbs up" from Dell's research...
