OS-less Laptops

Parent article: Where are the Linux laptops?

As a trade-off we could just buy Laptops with no OS pre-installed at all. This has two advantages:
1. We don't pay Microsoft for an OS we don't want
2. We save some 100-200
I for myself bought an Asus L3800-C without OS which was 200 cheaper than one with MS Windows 2000 pre-installed.
