You seem to be across the pond, but I suggest that you look at Clevo machines if you are looking at laptops. These are usually sold under other names but come without any Windows. You can buy without any operating system but often are available with the option to pre-install various linux distributions. A quick search suggested https://system76.com. There must be many more. I have not used system76, so can't comment on their offerings. I am writing this on a Clevo laptop which has been reliable and fast, purchased in the UK with no operating system. It was very good value. ael
