Wrong. Screen size matters.
A more valid comparison would be between Dell's E1405 and System76's 14.1" Gazelle laptop. The Gazelle starts at $699; to match the specs posted above it would cost $1,355. Paying an $80 premium for a Linux laptop isn't bad, especially when you consider that System76 doesn't get the boatloads of kickbacks from software vendors to bloat the laptop with demo software like Dell does.
