That's the problem with smaller OEMs. You can't live on razor thin profit margins. ZaReason www.zareason.com also has no-OS options (they're a Linux vendor). Again, prices aren't the cheapest. I personally buy my laptops by going to Staples, Circuit City, Best Buy, etc. with the latest OpenBSD-current to check its dmesg (and I highly recommend this) and blasting Windows off the HD as soon as I get home, but the OP asked for no-OS laptops. ~Brian
