Last time I checked, you could buy high-build-quality and cheaper notebooks from PCSpecialist..

Things could've changed tho

Yes, that was certainly the case when I was shopping for a new laptop about a year ago.

Even if their hardware is generic, I would argue that there is added value in buying from Tuxedo though as it gives peace of mind that Linux will run well (PCS would not confirm this when I contacted them and told me to go away and look at their forums). Also, as a customer who runs Linux, you cannot be fobbed off by Tuxedo on the basis of using an 'unapproved' operating system when you need support.

Can't you just send the PC back if it turns out it doesn't run linux?
