Dell 14" notebook shipped with Ubuntu $299 today only

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

Dell Business "10 Days of Deals" has a Vostro 2420 for $299.
This is as cheap as a low end netbook but is better in a bunch of ways.

I'm not sure of what all the goo is in a Dell URL, so here's an RFD
thread that refers to it

Intel Core i3-2328M (2.2GHz).  Decent:

14" screen, surely 1366 x 768 (listed as "London Slate", but that is
  the colour of the case!)
Intel HD Graphics 3000 (reasonable; built into CPU chip)
WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth, 1G wired
4G RAM
320G HDD

Shipped with an unspecified version of Ubuntu.
4.83 lbs "Advertised System Weight".

"No productivity software" which surely means that I didn't add MS
Office.  It cannot mean that they removed LibreOffice :-)

All in all, seems like a bargain.

Lennart would say: Dell notebooks are crap.
