I would like to buy a laptop for my research, which also, will be my first Ubuntu-only laptop. After searching for a design, with decent specs and ubuntu compatibility (although I did not find one here in which the community agreed) I think that the most convenient, in my case, would be the Dell Inspirion 15 7000 series:

In Spain this model comes in two versions: The first one would be with a Intel HD Graphics 4400 and the second with a NVIDIA GeForce GT750M (I will not be using it for gaming or any graphics consuming task).
I seems there is not 100% compatibility with any of the models but I would love to hear user experiences with both cards about the following issues:
1) Noise, heating
2) How easy are the drivers to install? (Using bumblebee or the intel utility)
3) Which option offers better user experience, for example, brightness controls, software compatibility, updates....
Any advice would be most welcome, thanks.
