Hi,
these comanies use non MS os just to make cheap laptops even cheaper.
and why are cheap laptops a problem? I couldnt afford a laptop 2 years ago..now I can..as far as I am concerned cheaper laptops are a good thing..
Also if i was going to have just one laptop i would rather pay a bit more and buy something which i *know* comes with good and reliable after sales service.
If this is with regards to software I dont really understand what do you mean? I bought my laptop with windows vista..my comp kept getting shutdown for no apparent reason with nothing in the logs..can i call MS and they will provide support for free..given that I have already paid extra for this OS??
