Computers pre-installed with the UbuntuLinux operating system are $225 more expensive than Vista

According to the latest foreign media reports, Dell admitted on Monday that the company's price for computers preinstalled with the UbuntuLinux operating system is too high. Not long ago, Dell just announced the release of a pre-installed Linux OS PC, also announced that the same model of customized tulinux version of the PC Price is less than Windows Vista $50. However, after comparing the prices of ron1420 laptops in two versions, Dell admitted on Monday that, the company has a high price for computers preinstalled with Ubuntu Linux.

Not long ago, Dell just announced the release of a pre-installed Linux OS PC, but also announced that the price of the same Ubuntu Linux version of the PC is more than 50 US dollars lower than the Windows Vista version. However, when you compare the prices of the two versions of the system, you find that the price of the Linux version of the ECS 1420 is 1420 US dollars higher than that of the Vista version, as a result, users who like Linux are greatly affected. This is not a small problem, because the Ubuntu Linux operating system is free software, while Windows Vista Home is obviously not.

The story goes like this: the price of the Vista version of the iPhone 1420 is $819, while that of the Linux version is $774, which is indeed a low price of $50. However, users who have purchased the Vista version of 1420 can upgrade to 2 GB memory and 275 GB hard drive for free, worth $.

However, if you want to Upgrade Linux to the same configuration, you need to pay the $275 in full. This means that the Linux version is $225 higher than the Vista version.

Dell said on its official blog that this was just a "common negligence" and the prices of these pre-installed Ubuntu Linux products should be $50 lower than the cost of the 1420. In this regard, Dell recently said: "The reason is very simple, this is due to temporary negligence. A few days ago, the price has been adjusted ."

A Dell spokesman said the error had been corrected and consumers should be able to see similar promotions on Ubuntu and Vista. Even so, Dell did not mention the issue of paying compensation for users who have purchased the product.
