Windows and all the crap that comes with it is actually subsidising your laptop, and making it cheaper FOR YOU than a laptop configured without Windows.
So ... are you looking for a cheaper laptop for you, or do you just want to stick it to Microsoft even if you pay more for a machine without Windows?
Look out for Number One!
Buy yourself a Lenovo (Intel peripherals since they are well supported). Chuck away that useless set of Windows partitions, and install your preferred distro. (LinuxMint 21.3 MATE in my case)
- bruce511 3y agoYeah, I was gonna say this as well. When you find that windows-free laptop be sure to compare price/specs with Windows laptops. IME the hardware specs, and overall design/quality have a much bigger impact on price than whether it includes Windows or not.
