There are many allusions that many experts make to the income that Free Software can give to a company. But there are few who speak of the success with examples of Free Software. Recently Dell has not only talked about its experience with Ubuntu but has also presented a new team, powerful but with Ubuntu as the main operating system.
The equipment presented is the Precision 5520, a laptop that is less than 3 cm thick and weighs less than 2 kilograms for a 15,6 inch screen.
The Dell Precision 5520 is characterized by having a configurable hardware, Ubuntu 16.04 as an operating system and a screen with a high resolution, in this case, the minimum screen configuration is 1920 x 1080 pixels. And all this would be very interesting, because for the first time we are talking about a team that has Ubuntu and does not lose quality or performance by having Ubuntu, but an architect of the company, George Barton, has spoken of figures.
Dell would have made millions of dollars with an investment of $ 40.000
Dell has been investing in Ubuntu for four years, being the only distribution it will use on its computers, at least for the moment. The amount invested exceeds $ 40.000, a remarkable figure, but even more remarkable the benefits it has created, a figure that amounts to millions of dollars. That is, thanks to Ubuntu, Dell has managed to bill millions of dollars.
In the case of the new Precision 5520 laptop, the team will exceed $ 1.300, a price that will undoubtedly sell more than one unit and that will make quite a profit.
Personally I have always believed the claim that Free Software can make money for the company, but never thought that could produce millions of dollars And I certainly never thought that Dell would be one of those companies to make millions of dollars with such a minimal investment. And you Do you think you can earn so much money? Do you think Dell has made so much money? What do you think?
When could we have these advances and benefits in Argentina?
It has been doing this for a long time with the developer editions of some models. For example, currently they also mount the XPS13 with Windows or Ubuntu of your choice.
I prefer linux mint ... a matter of taste ...
Well, you change Ubuntu for Linux Mint. What is the problem? Ha ha.
It's the same, just different environments. In itself, let's not forget that Mint uses Ubuntu base in one of its distros, the other is Debian.
I'm in love with him. Actually I have a partition with mint and another w7 ... https://www.instagram.com/p/BKk4Pw9g_Uu/

Great news.
How long have I been running Ubuntu on my work laptop?
How well you live without crashes, without looking for drivers to make things work, without viruses ...
I have my Alienware 17 R3 with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 and it is doing very well. Greetings.
Monterrey Ubuntu and what? Everything is a question of Cosmetics, nothing more!
finally we are going to repeat from = to = with the pig windows XD
Mr. Joaquin García:
Money is money and in our society everything is done for the vile metal. Canonical is also a private company and when it does certain operations it also does so because it expects to make a profit and in fact it will get it with all this. All of this will be paid for by consumers, at the end of the road. It is not bad if what they sell is a competitive product and online, but this will be known in time. At first it seems to me that the computer for $ 1300 is expensive. Who's doing the big business here? Maybe it's Ubuntu! Or you know, don't ask them why they won't tell you. Because ultimately neither of them will say that they have done a good business, rather they will say that they have lost, so that either of them stops their aspirations. Things are as they are and not as we would like them to be.
