Let's see who considers the Linux options when they see they can get the same machine for 200 bucks cheaper. I hope other brands start considering doing this too.

It's more probable people buying cheaper and then installing Windows afterwards - a lot more probable than starting their tech life from scratch.

You're really saying that they'd buy a laptop for cheap and install a new OS and aquire a key and all that? While I have your attention, are you interested in this bridge I have to sell you?

Suggesting that the average end user is more likely to reinstall an OS and aquire a key than to just learn how to use the new OS is fucking laughable.

free Windows activation is just one powershell command away
