Dell isnt resting on its recent consumer Linux PC laurels. The computing giant has added a new laptop—the Inspiron 1420 Notebook—to its Ubuntu Linux 7.04 offering.

It is also replacing the Dimension E520 desktop with the new, low-priced Inspiron 530.

The new Inspiron 1420N is powered by a 1.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 processor. This chip set also comes with a 667MHz FSB (front-side bus) and a 2MB cache. If you want a faster processor, Dell will let you upgrade it to a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 with an 800MHz FSB and a 4MB cache.
