Dell with Ubuntu...

[stellastars]

Hello! First post here. I'm relatively new to linux. I've been running Ubuntu Hardy (dual-boot, with a dying copy of Windows XP) for a couple months now on my laptop and enjoying it immensely. I'm looking into purchasing a new computer and was considering buying a Dell laptop with Ubuntu installed. There seem to be two choices, an Inspiron and an XPS. I was wondering if anybody had any experience (favorable or, more importantly, otherwise) with such systems from Dell...

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give!
