Solve : unformatted laptop (no crapware!)?

Answer»

This is what I would like: a good laptop, unformatted, preferably with the drivers, and I'll load the OS myself. I'm really having a hard time finding a laptop i like, they're all full of crapware. is there anywhere to get a laptop as i have DESCRIBED?you KNOW there's this cool thing you can do with a hard drive even if it has "crapware" on it. It's called "formatting"

works wonders.

That's basically what I did with my laptop. I had to upgrade anyway so I just wiped everything and did a clean install.That's cheating.

Think of all of those poor "crapware" programmers. They worked so hard and you just wiped it all out. You should be ashamed. Quote from: JJ 3000 on March 11, 2010, 11:02:55 PM

WELL, if they'd stop writing crapware that nobody wants they wouldn't be as poor!Quote from: Atari7800 on March 11, 2010, 09:57:03 PM

You have to do this yourself. When you purchase a new system you can reformat and reinstall the OS. That way you have complete control over what is installed.I guess that's what i'll have to do, i'm just not looking forward to finding all the drivers for all of the hardware components (onboard wireless, etc.).

I ASSURE you, that's what all knowledgeable users do. As for the drivers, they should be on a disc that comes with the laptop. If not, they would all be in one place on the website of your laptop manufacturer.Crapware is what makes HP all their money. HP laptops have the most crapware, hands down!
