Wow. $211 is a steep discount. People are going to buy with Linux just to save money, some will try it (because it is there), and some may like it and stay.
At the very least, people may learn that Windows is no easier to install (or even harder).
That’s a funny way of sayin’ that a Windows Home license costs $211.00.
Interesting. Only Fedora seems to be available in Norway.
I’m still 2 years away from a new work laptop (my current one is doing just fine anyway), but when the time comes, I might go for this. Was thinking about going ThinkPad+Linux anyway.
$200???
$200 less (you save money not buying windows)
Is this a tariff thing? Like is it suddenly more expensive to license Windows, hence pushing OEMs to offer discount options?
Lenovo is at least partially Chinese.
And you save money? Oh man, the path of least resistance just changed.
I don’t know if it’s not scrolled enough but here we have another option which is “no os at all” and you save another 30€
Shit like this gives me hope for the future
One category “no OS”, with also at least 211€ off, would be great. Don’t need nothing on my device when I install Arch from scratch anyway. Or nc -lp 42069 > /dev/main/root and cat /dev/sda3 | nc 192.168.178.x -p 42069, recreate /dev/main/swap and reinstall /dev/main/boot. Or just nc -lp 42069 > /dev/nvme0n1 and cat /dev/nvme0n1 | nf 192.168.178.x -p 42069
As available in France, tho only for €60 less.
And you pay €30 for fedora (?)probably for the labour it takes to do the OEM install and verify that everything is up to date and works… like audio and multi-monitor.
