Is there any laptop manufacturer that doesn't ship complete bloat/mal/spy/ware in their products?

- A4ET8a8uTh0 5y agoThat is actually a good question. I am slowly starting to prepare to purchase a laptop for my wife. Lenovo is basically out based on principle here, but can I realistically convince her to use System76, which seems less bloat-oriented? I honestly don't know. It is not like she needs a powerful machine, but I simply do not want to support a customer-hostile company.
- fatboy93 5y agoProbably not Framework or Apple? Haven't experienced these two yet, but don't almost all windows laptops come with McAfee? Removing it is a pain.
- neither_color 5y agoSystem76 laptops with Pop OS.
- Mikeb85 5y agoI'm going to guess when OEMs ship Linux (Dell, Lenovo, System76, etc...) there's no bloatware. No bloatware on Apple except their OS ;-). But yeah, it's shocking. When I bought my laptop (an Acer Swift 3) it was borderline unusable with Windows and the standard install (wasn't even using native resolution, like WTF!?). Thankfully runs perfectly and looks great with Linux (even suspend, fingerprint reader, bluetooth, etc...).
