Dell has started to offer their XPS 13 with the more and more popular Ubuntu. Ubuntu, for those who don’t know, is a linux-based operating system that has a reputation for being fast, stable, and virus free. Ubuntu also runs many of the same software applications that Windows does like Firefox and Open Office.
Anyway, here are the details from Electonista:
PC, notebook, monitor and related hardware manufacturer Dell has recently began offering its Studio XPS 13 notebook PC preloaded with the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system. The 13.3-inch notebook otherwise has the same key specs as its Windows Vista-powered counterpart, including the same 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, though some of the available options between them differ. For example, users can upgrade to a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo on the Ubuntu XPS 13, while those who opt for the Vista system have a choice of a different 2.53GHz and a 2.66GHz CPU.
And it’s quite affordable at $1099.
