I am looking to purchase a computer and put Ubuntu / Unity on it. I am not a hardware expert but I do know how to navigate around Ubuntu. I am having trouble finding whether or not the computers graphic card is supported or not. I am not looking to maximize the use of the graphics card but want to make sure it will support external monitors (hopefully 2). here are the specifications on the computer:

Inspiron 15 7000 Series

16GB, DDR3L, 2 DIMM, 1600MHz

256GB Solid State Drive

**AMD Radeon R7 M270 4GB DDR3**

15.6-inch 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) Truelife LED-Backlit Touch Display with Wide Viewing Angle (IPS)

802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.0, Dual Band 2.4&5GHz, 2x2

MUI Documentation

Backlit Keyboard, US English

US Power Cord

58WHr, 4-C (rem) [58 WHr, 4-Cell Battery (removable)]

Thanks in advance

According to this Romanian Website, you should be good!

EDIT: Model number on the laptop itself is slightly different, but the graphics card is the same model so laptop model shouldn't make any difference.

EDIT 2: So, it was clarified that this is a certified (pre-installed) rather than a certified installation, meaning there could have been modifications done the standard Ubuntu image, such as custom drivers. So, you should be okay, but as the comments on the original question indicated, it would be best to try with a LiveUSB first because one of those modifications could have been a custom driver for the graphics.
