Personally I can _strongly_ recommend that you do _not_ buy Dell. I ended up 
taking them to court over a laptop which didn't work from the start, which 
they refused to to anything about when they heard it was running Linux...  
even though it was quite clearly a hardware problem.

I guess with FreeBSD a conversation with "Dell support" (in quotes because I 
believe it to be somewhat of any oxymoron) would go along the lines of "Free 
what? Can't do anything about that, we only support the hardware, you have to 
be able to get the problem under Windows XP for us to do anything".
