Dell released three models yesterday, thursday, but frankly I’m disappointed by their prices. The Inspiron E1505 N comes with a measly 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD and a low-end Intel Duo starting at $599 and a mediocre battery. Dell has the same model with Vista at $549 with 1GB RAM and Turion CPU and the best battery available. Why in the world would I get the Ubuntu model? I’d rather get the one with Vista, wipe it and install Ubuntu than get the Ubuntu at a higher price for lower specs.

If Dell would just allow Ubuntu as an alternative on ANY of their systems, as opposed to just Vista and XP… or even a no-OS option on all models…

Dell, you have disapointed me, but you still have time to make it all better…
