I think the issue is: to buy a Lenovo machine is to buy Windows. There is no other option but to have to pay for Windows with your machine. One can't just buy a laptop with nothing on it. This can be seen as unfair to the customer in many countries and therefore, illegal.
- Nux 14y agoDon't buy Lenovo, then. Places like e.g. http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/laptop-computers/ http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/laptop-computers/ sell custom laptops without the Windows tax.
- cooldeal 14y agoCan I buy a Toyota car without the Michelin tires they bundle and get a discount? I want to install my custom tires and have no need for the tires they bundle.
- muyuu 14y agoIf they put a mechanism to specifically total the car if you try to use any other brand, I'd say they would be getting sued before you can say "anti-trust".
- recoiledsnake 14y agoTrying to boot Linux does not "total" the computer. Turn it off , and you can boot whatever you want. The analogy is sorely broken.
- muyuu 14y agoTrying to install it can total the computer, esp. if you are unaware of the relatively new locking measures.
- DigitalJack 14y agoOf course you can. You just haggle with the dealer.
- emidln 14y agoI did something similar to this with my Volkswagen. I wanted different tires, wheels, and a different stereo from what was on the car they in the lot. I ended up paying about $500 more, but received exactly what I wanted.
