>I want to purchase a Dell laptop... I am a regular Ubuntu user. 

Recently Dell went private, and Microsoft is a major investor. I tried 
installing Linux on Dell Optiplex series and gave up after tearing my hair out. 
It is painful. 
Dell has discontinued Linux desktop offerings, so if you want a Linux desktop 
go to some other company brand or best assemble with Intel boards from the 
market. They are 25% cheaper and guaranteed to run Linux (all flavours) 
smoothly.
