Would you buy an Ubuntu Pre-Installed PC?

Hi guys,

Would you buy an Ubuntu Pre-Installed PC? and why?

[fela]

I'd never, EVER buy a ready made PC (unless it was a laptop).

I love building my own PCs, and besides it's cheaper most of the time.

I'm with fela, I roll my own and would build my own laptops too if I could get the parts! I voted pre-installed because I've never seen a laptop for sale without an OS but I'd prefer a laptop with no OS.

I hate computers that other people have built. I'd much rather make my own, then install whatever I want, because I can.

I'd rather build my own.

Otherwise I don't care - I'd just remove ubuntu for Slackware or Arch anyway and removing ubuntu is as easy as removing windows.

If the price was right I'd still pick an ubuntu one over windows XD

Unless I am extremely short of money, the cheapest option is no option for me, because I will still be giving money to Microsoft. Microsoft will become more powerful if they receive more money. I don't see that helping Linux very much.

Okay. Let's say laptops, then.

I already have bought several laptops from System76.

It's really the only way to fly.

When comparing System 76's laptops with other brands, I would have to buy the other brand and install Ubuntu myself. Their top of the line lappy is twice what I spent for my wife's HP and her system had higher specs.

I have also compared the top of the line System 76 desktop with Lenovo, Gateway, and Dell and all three have systems that would run circles around System 76's $1400 desktop.

In th eend, I would rather just build my own system. As far as lappies go, I don't care for them as much, so I'll just get a used one and throw Ubuntu on it.

Roll your own joints?
