I am looking to buy a laptop without an OS, it will have Linux installed so no point in paying for Windows. Who sells these?

The ideal specs are:
- Eight generation i5 or i7.
- Integrated graphics (do not need discrete graphics).
- Backlit keyboard and good battery life (because South Africa).
- HDD and RAM that can be upgraded (this always ends up being needed).

Wootware sell green laptops as a house brand, but only high end gaming ones are currently available.
 
Gigabyte has a few that comes without windows.

I can assist if you are still needing one, what sort of budget are you looking at?

Tentatively looking in the R10k to R15k range. I have also been a bit tempted by some of the Precision workstations that you are selling.

Plenty of options around that price range, the new 5490s are i5-8350U Quad Core/256GB/16GB which I have stock of, and could possibly sharpen my price for you :)
