If you are willing to pay more, can you not just buy a laptop with no OS and have a separate installation of Windows premium done on it? That will at least save you from the OEM cruft.
- Mizoguchi 4y agoRealistically we cannot walk into Costco, get a $500 laptop and expect it to be free of bloatware and ads. There has to be a compromise somewhere if you really need something at that price level. It doesn't take much effort to wipe it all out as you say, do a fresh install and disable the features of Windows that annoy you the most. The question is if 2-3 hours of your time are worth the cheaper tag price.
