To tackle notebooks stealing problems and to attract more customers Dell has initiated to offer a complimentary theft protection service for one year on some of its notebooks computers that can track, locate and recover stolen notebooks.
The model includes XPS M1210, M1710 and M2010.
This security system called Computrace LoJack is designed by Absolute Software company.
The software enables recovery teams or owners to track stolen laptop location via internet connection and can also assist to retrieve data if the notebooks are damaged.
But according to Dell’s website contents this offer applies to whole laptop lineup.

Dell Inc. has confirmed that the company will soon offer notebooks with preinstalled Linux operating system.
Thousand of blog visitors voted that Dell should release computers that come equipped with Linux. The company has heard all the customers and will soon offer Linux powered Laptops.
Currently there is no news on the price of these machines, but many expect that they should be somewhat cheaper than Windows powered machines as Linux is a free OS and most of its applications also come free of charge.
