The ones from a few years ago do ok. I don't know about the newer ones,
but I'd assume they'd still run ok. However, I and others I know have
had problems a few years ago with the hardware failing, specifically the
graphics. That on top of two bad keyboards has caused me to be looking
elsewhere.

I know someone that special ordered a Dell with Ubuntu pre-installed.
I'm not sure if that is still possible, it was a few months ago, and
historically that kind of thing comes and goes.
