    Not if I’ve never bought a prebuilt PC.

        You only need laptops if you actually leave your home.

        Probably depends on the store, but the 2 times I bought a laptop in my life, both stores had a No OS option in the drop-down, which brought the price down. (One actually came with no OS, the other came with FreeDOS IIRC for some reason)

        Nope. Never bothered with a laptop until work provided me with one.

          What did you get? I’m interested but not really sure what to look for in that niche

            HP zbook 17 G6. Big, thiccc, can take a 2.5 inch drive AND a slim disk drive (but it might be hard to find the front/bezel piece to use one properly), and 2/3 m.2 slots (i think sata might be disabled if i use one?)

            No soldered ram BS, and I’ve got an 8c/16t xeon. I spent about $300. G6 and G5 only difference is the processor IIRC

        I owned only MacBooks and not pre-built PCs, so it’s the same for me. Never bought a single Windows license, even the OEM one.

          Never bought a Windows license… But happily paid the Apple Tax.

          They’re the same picture.

            I paid my sins, father! Now all my MacBooks are on Linux! All of them!
