> Those laptops don't have any junk

I bought a Signature Edition Thinkpad Yoga S1 from Microsoft and it didn't have any junk on it, except in the registry. I think all they do is open the machine, uninstall all the non-Microsoft stuff, then ship the machine. A clean install wouldn't have registry keys for Evernote (for example).

I think I would only buy a Microsoft Surface machine at this point. The hardware is very good and they aren't junked up.
