May be Dell India website works differently that Dell US. I can see a button 'Request a quotation' on website. So it may not be possible to order immediately. I am not sure how you reached conclusion 'Not supported'. Even though I have never bought any Dell laptop, AFAIK Dell laptop's build quality is far better than most other vendors in India. So may be there won't be many support calls. Onkar -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
