Which manufacturer would sell customized laptops w/o windows and with free-driver hardware? !fs !linux #freehardware
- Ed Morgan repeated this.
-
@danielmarti #system76 & zareason among others. Also check fsf.org
-
@magicfab I have come across the three of them. But their prices are incredibly high, and I am looking for some more customization.
-
@richslxh I went there last summer. Two shops used to sell manually mounted laptops, both closed because of the recession :/
-
@danielmarti !freedomincluded sells such netbooks which are lighter. http://ur1.ca/1fw9g ?
-
@danielmarti PS if you're really looking for a bargain to build, check sites like Pricewatch and Ascendtech, or search for barebones laptops
-
@danielmarti PPS You could also search for notebooks listed on !coreboot.
-
@richslxh I shall try again soon. I got a 800-euro laptop (FHD, nvidia 9800M, 1920x1080, 4gbDDR3) for 400 just because it came with vista :D
-
@danielmarti I've heard of some people getting a refund, too, since they don't use !Windows.
-
@kete That would be some trouble, wouldn't it? Thanks anyway!
-
@danielmarti free h/w support + customization means low volume, and higher price. That's the high price reason.
