I like the prices! And europaweit lieferung - that works for me. :)

That's super helpful - I didn't realize how big a difference there is between models. Thanks for clarifying. And yeah, by now I get the sense that LinuxPusher.dk is not for me. :)

Thanks for the link - and good tip about the timing!

Thanks! :)

Thanks - I’ll check it out!

Well, I don't want to have a bad time, that's for sure...thanks for the warning. I'll be cautious about Lenovo.

Interesting - and yet I read about many folks installing Linux on thinkpads, and those laptops even being recommended for Linux. Is it just cause so many have worked on making Lenovo be able to handle Linux?

Aspire 15

Looks nice - and nice price too!

Libreboot looks very, very interesting - thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip - I'll check out the AMD Acer laptops. You thinking of Nitros, in particular?

Looks like a nice selection. A sensible approach, and one I may end up taking: getting a Windows laptop for good value and then installing Linux myself.

Good points all round, thanks - and I did think the Linux installation cost seemed high. I might be willing to pay a premium for good support. I've heard good things about System76's customer service (but they're US-based). Installing a distro on an old laptop doesn't scare me - I've done it before. It's more the hardware/driver issues that might arise. And then I'd love to discover an "out of the box" solution that I could recommend to my friends and family, who have little appetite for tech tinkering. Maybe that's where Tuxedo comes into the picture...
