Linux Mint 13 on Dell Inspiron 3521??

Hello everyone!

I bought Dell Inspiron 3521 notebook with Intel Pentium Dual Core 2127U with HD VGA, Ivy Bridge, Intel HM76 Express, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB HDD, Intel® HD Graphics last week.


It had preinstalled Ubuntu 12.04 oem on it and works perfectly. However since person who will use it is accustomed to Win XP and Win 7 I thought that installing Linux Mint would be a better choice for her and I did so. Unfortunately LM 13 does not work by itself, I have graphics problems which cause problem and make system non functional, and it obviously because it lacks drivers included in Ubuntu oem version. I have restored Ubuntu oem back however I wonder if there is a chance I can get  LM functioning on this laptop or am I stuck with Ubuntu for good? Is there perhaps a LM oem version for this laptop available or could one somehow build it by using drivers included on the Ubuntu Dell restore disc and how exactly could one pull it off?
