After a true Mexican soap opera between Dell and Canonical, it seems that the relationship between the two companies has further improved: very soon you can buy a ultrabook Dell with Ubuntu already installed.
The idea of a ultrabook Ubuntu born directly from Sputnik Project, an initiative focused on creating a Dell desktop Linux environment entirely geared to developers. As the project seems to have attracted much interest, Dell decided to expand the initial plan of a development limited to the sale of the product.
As it is still a product designed for developers, installing Ubuntu will come with several development-oriented applications in the cloud, including allowing users to create "micronuvens" in the system, so they can test their applications.
The ultrabook based on the XPS 13, now sold with Windows, it should show up until December and will come with Ubuntu 4.12 preinstalled. For now there is no confirmation that the product will be sold in Brazil. There is still no set price for ultrabook with Ubuntu, but it is speculated that cost less, because they do not have the Windows license. But there is no guarantee that this will actually happen.
