[ubuntu-za] A new laptop for Ubuntu without windows

[dave apter]

Retailers don't provide any real after sales service for Win! 
Buy the laptop you want and ditch the Windows.  Yes you have been screwed ... however this is a bit like paying tax!
Suggest a Dell xps13 for which ample ubuntu support exists. My experience with this pc and 12.04lts has been great! !

How do they provide after sale service for Ubuntu? How many of them know Ubuntu? Are we as a community willing to provide after sale service and if so, what are the legal implications?

Because of the new consumer protection act, the best bet would be for the Ubuntu community to lodge a complaint with the consumer ombudsman. Their function is to be the voice of the consumer.
