Sometimes I had to insist a little to get to the right persons but in
general I have no problems with Dell getting a clean machine or one
with Ubuntu on it. And the local service here in Austria is awesome. I
only buy Dell any more.

They all have limitations on countries they ship to (Austria for
example always missing) as far as I have seen and for Malibal I had
difficulties to find out and anyway prices are quite high already
without shipping - not to mention that on the first page the write
