Not true. I've checked this out several times in the past when I've heard it.
The Ubuntu laptops always seem to be about £30 cheaper than the ones with Windows for the same spec. Total price difference at the moment is only £10 but they won't sell you a windows laptop without 1GB of RAM so you have to upgrade the 512MB Ubuntu offering with an expensive £30 Dell upgrade, the very same upgrade is available from crucial for £9.98 inc vat and delivery.
The main problem with Dell is that you only get a subset of their products offered with Ubuntu.
