I like this picture.

It's the usual upscaling method, but in this case, there is a way to get the price down from the default....

I wish other choices in life were this easy.

Is this a tariff thing? Like is it suddenly more expensive to license Windows, hence pushing OEMs to offer discount options?

Lenovo is at least partially Chinese.

No, Lenovo has offered Ubuntu and at times other distributions preinstalled, for many years. It’s only on a small number of models.

I don't think they did it at a $200 discount before.

There is no discount, you are simply not paying for a windows license.

But before if you didn't want Windows, I think Lenovo just pocketed the change.

And OEMs don't pay anywhere reat retail for a Windows key.
