seems expensive for a low volume brand.
You can get this for similar money with the O/S!

Do you need laptops which are fully compatible with Linux? e.g. Asus F201E / X201E or Dell XPS 13
The whole idea is NOT to have Windows at all .Originally Posted by twin--turbo
Apparently the new Samsung Chromebooks run Ubuntu quite well. They are ARM based so I don't think it is terribly straightforward to get it installed, but they are quite cheap @£229 inc VAT
Yes, But happy to put my favorite PCLinuxOS on them as I Do Not Like Ubuntu !.
Talk to Stone - they will no No-OS devices if requested.
I believe the HP 655 can be bought without OS license, prices at around £280 inc VAT but that's with Windows, not seen the bare price.
You can refuse to accept the terms of the Windows licence and get a refund off the manufacturer.
I might buy a laptop just to do this!!
just make sure it's not running RT!
The point is you can get a better machine for the same money and with an o/S. and as pointed out you can get that refunded.
Low volume brands often come from CLEVO or another big shifter, we hvae had a few badged CLEVOS and they were honestly rubish.

It's not as easy as that. !

? What's RT ?
Windows RT. It's a version of Windows 8 that runs on ARM-based tablets.
