    On a related note, can anyone recommend system76 alternatives for laptops with !linux or no-OS preinstalled?

      @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 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.
