Description: Dell Studio 15 laptop

What I feared:
-Intel Core Duo P8600
-Ati Mobility Radeon HD 3450
-Dell 370 internal Bluetooth
-802.11AGN INTELJWIFI LINK 5100 wireless card
-Webcam
-Microphone

What didn't work -out of the box- with Ubuntu Jaunty:
-Microphone. That's it.

Would recommend to any Linux user

Would you recommend the product? yes | Price you paid? (in USD): $1,386.00 | Rating: 10

Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.28-11-generic
Distribution: Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)



I wanted a cheap but fast laptop that would flawlessly handle linux. I found it!

As stated, the microphone was the only thing that didn't work out of the box. Everything else worked just fine (didn't test the optional IR remote) without any further steps.
