Dell linux laptops

Yeah, you avoid unity then (or can).  :)

Just the fact that they have it working means whatever linux will 
probably still run across the vostro line whether it ships with or not. 
  Post circa 2008 I don't think they bother with separate hardware 
packages, rather just push support upstream into source, or build the 
bios support not to suck (ahem, wish hp would do as they do) so should 
be good to go.

My wife runs an i3 on her system, plenty good for most things I think, 
though the 2gb of ram is a bit sparse.  You can guy 8gb of ram for 20 
bucks these days.
