I'm tempted to push it just to be awkward. How high do you think I could go 
with a company like currys or PC world before a manager gives in and gets his 
tech guys to wipe a new laptop?  Would they call the police if I made a lot 
of noise? The EI1201 is not available with linux, but they do sell some other 
models that are.
Trouble is they would probably only knock about £10 off the price!!
