Hardware, Embedded Systems Lenovo is undertaking an Olympic-size effort to establish itself as a consumer PC brand. The Chinese PC maker has found great success with the iconic ThinkPad brand of commercial laptops, a business it purchased from IBM. And now it's taking the world stage with a new line of consumer-focused notebooks called IdeaPad. There will also be a desktop line called IdeaCentre.

They're pre-installing Ubuntu. But they're not supporting it.


To my understanding it's not their problem but Canonical's. MS Windows is supported by Microsoft. And I don't know what kind of a deal Dell has with Canonical.

It is not true that this is not a big deal. Even as a marketing buzz is good to hear that someone ships a PC/Laptop with Linux. For my boss means something.

I just think the SLED would be a better option for Dell, but that's just my opinion.
