Where to buy

Hi guys,
Im looking for a new laptop, and unfortunately in Denmark it is only possible to buy laptops with pre installed windows xp or even worse vista... So, anybody got a few links for websites where you can buy a computer without preinstalled win?
Im thinking portable notebooks like less than 12 inch. lenovo or perhaps fujitsu-siemens lifebook. Stores inside EU especially in england are preferable
thanks in advance

What about Zepto? You can specify if you want Windows installed or not.

Zepto's products look really nice and affordable.

Zepto is definitely worth considering, especially since they have started to ubuntu certify some of their laptops... but as far as i know they dont have any notebooks of size less than 12"

You're right, but damn they have nice products and are linux friendly to boot.

I am sorry if it is obvious for you but have you checked:

You can choose there laptops without preinstalled system (Vælg type OS)
and  in advanced search there is: "Vælg Diagonal størrelse" of the screen.
Hope it helps  a bit,

I thought of getting a Thinkpad from here. Prices, even with Windows XP installed, seemed pretty competitive last time I compared them.

Or look here.

Re: Where to buy

Hi again,
Ive been a little around but during my search, one of my friends told me that even though you buy a computer with windows pre installed there is a disclaimer so that you can get your money back for the windows -- ofcourse the dealer has to agree with it, but technically it should be possible.
Ive contacted dell, they are willing to do this
