I'm in the market to buy a new laptop, however I can't seem to find one without an OS. I don't see why I should give MS money for something I'm going to delete as soon as I get home.
Anyone know where I can buy one?

I was going to say Dell too, since they build your computer to order.

I've been looking on Dell, but there's no options that I can see for not selecting an OS.
I have no idea where you are asking from, but if in the UK have a look at Novatech or PCSPECIALIST - Custom PCs both of whom sell PCs and laptops without an OS.
I have just configured a custom desktop at the second of those two Intel i5-3570K cpu, 8GB ram, 1TB 7200rpm HDD, and it flies with Xubuntu 12.04 on it, and I have to say, is superbly built and cleanly and carefully laid out internally.

if you are looking for a high end laptop look at system76, they sell system preinstalled with ubuntu linux
Laptop: ASUS A54C-NB91 (Storage: WD3200BEKT + MKNSSDCR60GB-DX); Desktop: Custom Build - Images included; rPi Server

They don't sell without an OS, but System 76 ships with Ubuntu for default. Hence, no "Microsoft Tax." As a recent customer, I highly recommend it. I got the stock Pangolin and it is pretty boss. There is also ZaReson which I think has an option to ship without an OS, but I could be wrong.
