Am planning to buy a laptop, an Acer 4002WLCi most probably.
Unfortunately it comes bundled with XP Prof!! Any one have
experience/heard-of attempts to get a refund for this in Inida? Like
this instance (http://www.netcraft.com.au/geoffrey/toshiba.html) in
Australia way back in the late 90s!
And any views on the particular model of the laptop... linux
compatibility, performance etc?
hi mano,
Generally theseday every model shipped with XP is also avilable with
Linux with some 3000 Rs leverage...
I got my laptop also like that , it was actually shipped with XP Prof,
but he told me that the same model is also shipped with Mandake,
so ask ur retailer if such model is avilable. it Comes from the company
it self, with a blank HDD and mandrake CDs.
My friend also bought a accer laptop with mandrake OS..
So just checkout
