That's all well and good - but if you wont a decent laptop from a decent company with a good warranty (like dell provides) then you have to compromise. I don't know about you... But I wouldn't be caught buying some no name laptop that is going to fall apart a day after the warranty expires just because they wont sell me the machine without the OS I want on it. Yes your thoughts may be ok when buying a desktop machine - but certainly not for laptops.
