    I already have a used ThinkPad and have been using it for many years. I’m trying to get a second laptop, but for reasons I can’t choose a used one. Only new machines and in a low price bracket. There’s just nothing that comes without preinstalled Windows and associated tax.

    EDIT: Why is this getting downvoted?

      I see, well you’ll probably have to either eat the cost or contact a small seller directly and see if he can do a device without Windows for lower price. Worst case scenario you’ll get denied.
