I bought a very high spec Dell XPS m1330 with Ubuntu pre-installed about 18 months ago. I've been really happy with it but it wasn't cheap. About the same price as the Windows model, I wanted to support Linux with my cash. It is a high end machine as well. Beats the Macbook for me. I think they still do them but can't say for sure. Have a look.<br>
<br>I would also suggest you try the Linux Emporium. Just do a quick search and they'll come up. Based in Birmingham and they sell a lot of Thinkpads, nice guys and very professional. The prices are pretty good as well.<br>
<br>Hope that helps a bit, good luck<br><br>Dan<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 3:20 PM, Bryn Pritchard <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:brynstero@gmail.com">brynstero@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
