Laptop without OS?

[garyc]

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.

Evetech seems to sell them but there is none listed

It's not worth limiting yourself to laptops without an OS, just get whichever one you fancy and wipe the drive.

Get a nice Dell from @Flashgear https://www.nucleustech.co.za/shop you'll get a great deal & 3yr dell onsite warranty.

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
