Idea #8290: Ubuntu Hardware

Description
I suggest that canonical manufacture it's own Ubuntu PC hardware to suit the ubuntu OS.

We need to take a look at the simple example of LED screens. You push a letter(eg"A") and the LED's light up to form that letter. The modern LCD displays work on the same principle. So in fact all you need to do in essence is save/preload a group of images/pages/applications using an input device such as a keyboard, which is then saved onto a storage device, and displayed on an output device, i:e monitor.

All hardware/software is then tested by canonical and made available.

I disagree. If you want compatible hardware, either buy a system with Ubuntu preloaded or verify the hardware (e.g., scanner) will work with Ubuntu before buying it.
