Best online / brick and mortar vedors for ubuntu laptops?
Hi
My situation
--------------------
- I'm a windows user trying to change to ubuntu. I'm a normal user, NOT a programmer
- The very word "dual boot" scares me
.
- I'm an everyday user. I switch on a machine and use it for XL, word, powerpoint, PDF, browsing, web E mail etc [NO gaming]
- I do _not_ do installing OS on my machine
!!
- I need a new laptop, and I'm planning to buy a laptop in the range of i3, 750 GB HDd, 4 GB Ram, 15 inch display etc
- I live in the Middle East (arabian middle east)
- The more I look around, the more I find windows on laptops
Request for help :
----------------------------
- Which vendors, manufacturers sell ubuntu laptops ? i.e. those that are made for ubuntu or linux and NOT windows laptops that have dual boot etc
- Online vendors could be from anywhere ... brick and mortar have to be middle east
- Usage of the laptop : XL, word, powerpoint [these three to be replaced with libre or open office] , PDF [say Odf], browsing, web E mail etc [NO gaming]
- IF I have posted on the wrong forum, please direct me to the right one
thanks in advance
regards

I can't see why one should do that ? isn't that just feeding 100s of $ to Microsoft ?? ref http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...63#post9664463 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...09#post9665609 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...18#post9666518 . the last one with the fan problem !! ? and this are scary http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...7571#post27571
