Just over a year has passed since I got my laptop from PC Specialist. It did require a bit of configuring, but I am very content with it.
I am an avid Linux user. I find Linux to be much more comfortable and productive than Windows for what I want to do. Debian my preferred system, but I do feel that different distributions have a time and place.
I find that it is difficult to walk into a shop or go to an online website to buy a laptop without having an OS installed or to have Linux pre-installed. I am very grateful for the small number of companies that do provide this service.
I do also have a desktop, but I also wanted a laptop that I could use comfortably on the sofa or out and about.
