Ordering a new laptop for home :)

I have just order a new laptop and I choose the Dell Ubuntu Linux service.
Now Dell support 3 linux configurations:
- 2 Laptops ( XPS and Inspiron )
- 1 Desktop.

I have take the inspiron 1525 for the large screen ( 15.4" versus 13" for the XPS ).

The only thing that borring me a little it's the video card, only XPS Laptop can have a NVIDIA 8600 instead of a Intel X3100, by the way I'am not buying this laptop for gaming ( My desktop is good for that :) ).

Intel chipset will be usefull for in depth testing of jukebox3D with intel open source hardware driver, this is the good news !

This is the laptop configuration I choose and you will find one curious line :
