On a related note, can anyone recommend system76 alternatives for laptops with !linux or no-OS preinstalled?
-
Rajit Vikram Singh and chimo like this.
-
@jankusanagi Oh wow, thanks! Used any of those yourself?
-
@chimo nope, sorry. I have "inherited" laptops and I assemble my desktop PC's myself :P
-
@chimo what are your reasons against system76? just looking for comparisons, or something specific?
-
@darwinsurvivor it was just for comparisons at first, but their $98 shipping fees is a bit of a turn off now.
-
@chimo Lenovo laptops with freeDos installed eschew the windows tax. Thet are still as expensive as lenovos though.
-
@chimo where are you trying to ship to?
-
@darwinsurvivor Ontario, Canada
-
@cognitivesudo Interesting, thanks! :)
-
@chimo ah, when I ordered from system76 I shipped it to south of the border and *brought* is across. customs WAY cheaper than intl. shipping
-
@darwinsurvivor yeah, makes sense :) Unfortunately, I don't have a nearby US address to ship it to right now.
-
@chimo bummer
-
@chimo in what country / region?
-
@chimo ZAReason. Sponsored LAN party at SCaLE last weekend
-
@cyberkiller Thanks, I'll have a look
-
@gvs Ontario, Canada
-
@lufthans Cool! I'll check them out
-
@chimo Can't help you there, only familiar with System76 and local EU vendors...
-
@gvs thanks anyway :)
