I'd like to buy a Windows-free laptop. Any idea how to do this?

Talk to Simon. I think he just bought one (and he definitely has in the past).

Newegg.com is also your friend.

This company you can call, and they will sell you a computer without Windows:

They are very cool.

Uh, I could sell you mine... currently it has gentoo linux and windows installed (dual boot) but I could remove the windows partition if you want.

Not sure what you were looking for specifically... mine has an AMD Turion 64 2.0ghz processor in it, is light-weight (5lbs w/ battery), widescreen, and is really quite durable, has friendly hardware ideal for working in linux, etc...

That sounds interesting. I would want to reformat it and install Ubuntu.

Why are you selling it?

There's a company in Cupertino, California--they're called Apple--that makes Windows-free laptops.

Eh; nowadays half of everybody runs windows on those boxes too.

(Though I'm old-skool and still using a CPU that could run xbox games.)

MacBook!

(why did it take that long for someone to make the obvious joke?)

Myself now also the proud owner of a Pro, I was tempted to make that comment as soon as he made the post. However, I was afraid it would sound too flippant.

I was thinking the same thing.
