All models listed on these pages are old C2D Dell models. None of current models are available at reasonable prices.
For example, Laptop that I am using right now has i5 CPU, 6 GB RAM, 3 year warranty (Dell Studio 1558). Its cost was $900.
Its simply not possible to purchase Laptops without OS (or with Linux) at these price points.
Prices of Windows laptops :

Have you ever seen laptops without Windows selling for more than such discounts on MRP?
Guys, Acer is already available with quite some models with Linux pre-loaded. Of course this command line Linux is useless and is generally referred to as DOS. You get i-core and older. The only problem is that some people may be allergic to Acer. Otherwise it is a good buy. :-)
