Comment on Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM?

Linux preinstalled is going to remove a lot of candidates. If you relax your requirements to include known setups/components that work well with Linux then that would help expand your options. The amount that Microsoft gets from the preinstalled license is likely negligible.

The only reason I’m asking linux is I don’t want my money taken by microsoft. I believe most laptop like dell would work with linux well enough. If I’m good with windows preinstalled, which laptop would have the highest ratio of quality / price?

I was going to suggest Framework. You can buy them without any OS at all. But it’s going to be easily >$2k with a GPU.

Do your research because it varies by year and components. But if I was going for new I’d be looking at Asus TUF or Strix at the 1.4k price point.

Your option is basically only framework if you want good hardware.
If you don’t mind low end stuff then you have plenty of options.

Framework laptops are really cool, but the modular design seems to make them more vulnerable.
