Why do I need to buy a copy of Windows 11 with this laptop?

Surely I should have the option of excluding it

Also I can't see any discrete GPU options, I'm assuming that'll come later

Are the bring-your-own-OS editions not available in Aus? I'm seeing some right below this press release, but I'm browsing from Canada.

I also received a Framework just today, and it had no preinstalled OS.

RE: discrete GPUs, I'd expect those to be available on substantially later or substantially different model; the thermal needs are significant, and it's usually unnecessary on Framework's current target market of workstation-class laptops.

You can exclude it if you select the "DIY Edition".

Discrete GPU in a laptop of this size would be thermally... difficult.
