Ask Slashdot: Buying a Laptop That Doesn't Have Windows 8

Posted by timothy on from the craigslist-if-available dept.

First time accepted submitter Sagan's Pie writes "I'm starting to look for a laptop for college, and the only thing I seem to find are laptops or tablets that have Windows 8. I have used Windows 7 for a long time now, and would not have a problem giving it up, but not for Windows 8. After visiting many major online retail sites, I've found that finding either a Windows 7 laptop, or even a laptop without an operating system is nearly impossible. So where should I go if looking for laptops sans os, or at the very least sans Windows 8?"

    Actually, please don't do this. M$ needs to know what a hunk of crap they've released reflected by low sales.
