sell computers without Windows,
they assemble them in Portsmouth
so if something goes wrong you can take it back.

I bought this laptop from them, very nice.

We've discussed this before. It is quite difficult to buy a lap top

very difficult to overwrite the operating system you didn't want to pay for
in the first place.
