    No doubt this has been asked many times before, but I'm in a rush to get back to work :p

    I'm looking to get my hands on a laptop that doesn't come bundled with an OS. I've heard rumours that you can get OEM laptops, then tell them you disagree with the EULA, return the disks and get a refund. I'll have to read the XP EULA though to see if it's been reworded.

    I have noticed though that you can get ASUS laptops and choose to not have any OS bundled on them, which would be ideal. Does anyone know where I could get an ASUS machine here (or shipped from the UK?) sans OS?

    Or any other relevant info would be useful.

    Cheers

    Laptops direct do most of the Asus range, not sure about a no OS option though.

    @ symbol is over no2 few other symbols different, all the letters are in the same place. Just make sure it's a qwerty keyboard
