HP sells a PC preloaded with Ubuntu in the UK!

Authored by: Nick_UK on Wednesday, March 06 2013 @ 11:04 AM EST

I bought a Dell Inspiron about 4 years ago pre-installed with Ubuntu - but it
wasn't advertised very well on their site - you had to know it was there to be
able to search/find it.

And at one time there was a dedicated Dell site for laptops running GNU/Linux,
but as now most distro's work on laptops 'out of the box', I do not know if it
is still around.

It is still a brilliant laptop.

Not all features are available in all editions of Windows 8. Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware to take full advantage of Windows 8 functionality.

I put one in the shopping basket to look at the options. HP did not give me options to buy anti-virus software and Microsoft Office with my new Linux box, unlike Dell. Does this mean HP have more brains than Dell, or that they could not get the anti-virus software to install with Wine?
