The reason for Ubuntu in the laptop is simply because CentOS didn't work very well. I followed the wiki about XPS M1530[1] and everything almost work. At the office one of the developers uses a Dell Precision laptop with RHEL 5.3 (it came from Dell with RHEL) and works really fine. So, I image that some laptops are more CentOS/RHEL-friendly than others.
I'm lucky that my Dell Latitude D400 works 100% with CentOS -- I imagine being "behind the curve" in hardware is a definite advantage here.
