Hi Leon,<br>
I use a Proline i7 which came with Windows 7. I installed Ubuntu
alongside Windows (All easily done with the Ubuntu install CD or
downloaded Ubuntu iso) and have kept both operating systems
up-to-date with online upgrades. We converted my wife's Lenovo from
Windows to Ubuntu and she hasn't used Windows for about 5 years (she
finds Ubuntu easier to use and maintain).<br>
<br>
My point is that finding a laptop with Ubuntu pre-loaded will limit
your options while installing Ubuntu on any laptop is very easy.<br>
<br>
Kind regards
<br>
Derek<br>

I have used a Dell xps (i5) with UBUNTU for some years, no
problems. Great machine! Used the Win7 license that came
pre-installed for a windows VM. <br>
