Let's see who considers the Linux options when they see they can get the same machine for 200 bucks cheaper. I hope other brands start considering doing this too.

It's more probable people buying cheaper and then installing Windows afterwards - a lot more probable than starting their tech life from scratch.

People who are tech savy maybe. Most consumers have no clue how to install windows (or any OS) with an iso though.

But they have friends, neighbors, nephews that do know. 😉
