Amith, i just bought a Dell Studio 15 laptop with model no 1535. But the problem is that they are not giving drivers for xp. They only provide drivers for vista. I believe that you are the right person who can help me.
Please provide me the driver links. I am a big fan of Windows XP.

Looks truly interesting.
The price also looks minimal and a gadget to be grabbed!

As you have rightly mentioned, Dell is trying to play in the arena that is currently dominated by Asus, Eee PC etc. Is this something Dell sees as a viable market? I mean, this line of PC’s typically run on solid state hard drives with minimal storage capacity (I think Dell mini 9 offers up to 16GB). I can only imagine that this would be a secondary laptop on top of a primary PC/laptop. I really don’t see much of a value in these so called “netbooks”, Just my 2 cents.

I hate windows XP- outdated smiley face that sticks its tongue out at you.
BUT I LOVE the performance Ubuntu gives and the freedom that it allows the user to express. I think the mere fact that Dell is actually looking into one of the many forms of Linux is very interesting. They normally just find a simple, intuitive GUI OS like Microsoft. YAY for new technologies!!! Ubuntu versions are named after the date released (8/4/08 or 7/1/07) for those who don’t know.
Checkout linux.org or http://www.ubuntu.com for more info. At Dell’s website they totally allow you to COMPLETELY customize this awesome machine into anything you want it to do.
