Dell Begins Pre-Installing Linux On Range of Precision Laptops

'"While Linux-preloaded laptops have been available for years from
smaller companies, and have represented a fraction of their own sales
with the much-admired XPS 13 developer model, Dell now offers a range
of Precision models pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux," writes Slashdot
reader Freshly Exhumed. Phoronix reports: At the start of May Dell
announced an Ubuntu Linux option for their entry-level ~$700 Precision
laptop while now they are closing out May by offering up Ubuntu 18.04
LTS on their higher-tier Precision laptop models. Ubuntu Linux has
landed for the rest of Dell's current generation Precision mobile
workstation line-up with support for the Precision 5540, 7540, and
7740. The Precision 5540 offers options of Xeon E or 9th Gen Core CPUs
with up to 64GB of RAM and options for a NVIDIA Quadro T2000. The
Precision 7540/7740 meanwhile are more powerful mobile workstations
with supporting up to 128GB of ECC RAM and latest generation
processors. The Precision 7740 model can also accomodate NVIDIA Quadro
RTX 5000 series graphics. Additional details can be found via this
blog post by Dell's Barton George.'
