Laptop to give away (not new but pretty well unused)

Dell INSPIRON 14 3452

I bought it new a few years ago because it was advertised as being Linux 
capable. This machine with Linux pre-installed was offered in Europe but 
unavailable in Canada, so I bought it with Windows installed, wiped 
Windows and tried to install Linux. Was able to run this laptop with 
Linux from a USB and also managed to install the OS on the internal 
drive a few times, and I once was even able to get it to boot from the 
internal drive by installing an UEFI capable (recent) version of Mint. 
However, a subsequent install failed again, and I don't have the time or 
patience to try it again, especially since I cheaply got an old computer 
2 years ago that works fine with Linux.

Also, according to the information on the page shown below it is 
possible to install Linux on it in a certain manner, so if someone wants 
to play with it it's yours if you pick it up in Fernwood.
