Dell’s new Inspiron 910, the first ever mini-notebook by Dell, will have an option to have Ubuntu Linux installed from factory.
FYI, Ubuntu is a free operating system based on Linux. It’s not the easiest Linux to install (well most Linux are pretty damn hard to install) but since Ubuntu comes installed in the new Dell, we think it’s a better deal than Windows or a Mac.
Of course, Dell never has sold Linux-equipped PCs in the past but they are starting to change along with everyone else in this world.
We hope that one day, we would never have to even know what “Windows” is and that enough Linux systems will be available for every laptop.
At least finally, I might buy a Dell again, simply because they provide an option for “Window-lessness”.
There’s a lot to like about the Inspiron 910 - the 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPU is a beaut, it comes fitted with 512MB or 1GB or memory, has a sweet looking 8.9″ WLED screen running at 1024 x 600, three USB ports, a LAN port, decent audio and storage options ranging from 4GB to 16GB (4GB feels a little on the tight side to me, I think I’d go with 8GB as a minimum). It feels to me like the spec falls into the sweet spot in terms of spec. The Eee PC has evolved a lot since it was released but I feel that the product is now diluted by having too many models.
Rumors have it that the system will go on sale on August 22nd and the starting price is rumored to be $299. At that price, it’s a winner.
