Why is it so hard to find a decent priced Notebook without Windows? I’m looking in the price range below $650 and what I’ve found isn’t very promising. My best bet is to buy something off Ebay and wipe the drive and install Linux, or to buy one of Dell’s low-end Inspiron’s.

Here’s a list of some of the sites I’ve checked out:

DFSdirect.ca :: Refurbished Laptops

Starting at $539. Verdict: Good prices and specs. Refurbished. Can get better prices on ebay for notebooks in the same or better condition.

Net Direct :: Open Solutions

No Prices on site. I emailed them a couple of times, no response. Verdict: bad customer support…

ZaReason

Starting at $899. Verdict: to Expensive for their specs…

System76

Starting at $649. Verdict: to Expensive for their specs…
