Hello I'm looking for a decent laptop. I don't wan't OS in it ready installed (Saves money :P)

15.4 "
Some decent Video card would be great too. Give me sites and so on. I live in Finland. Can be any kind of price range (No Macs) and nothing like 4000 USD :P

That's all.

EDIT: All Linux fans welcome to this thread!

Hm, as long as you have a laptop with an AMD or NVIDIA video card you probably don't have to worry about performance on Linux.

Ok : ) Would be great that I could "Do" something with it too. Because I'm not going to buy another shit laptop.

depending on how powerful a laptop you're looking for, check out one with an amd apu in it. A family member bought one recently and it seems to run pretty decently.

In the US at least, you can call the OEM that sold the laptop to you for a refund on your Windows install, IF you inform them you've deleted all of it and installed Linux instead.

Thanks for great information. I will find out if it's possible here in Finland.
