Here's the big question on my mind: why can I not go on Amazon right now and buy an Ubuntu laptop? There is one I have seen (and I have searched for a while), where someone is reselling used laptops with Ubuntu installed.

There are so many device makers out there trying to replicate the feel of a MacBook Pro with Windows. Seems like it would be easier with Ubuntu. The success of Apple sprang mostly from marketing and differentiation, it could happen to Ubuntu with a little motivation.

If you're looking for a Ubuntu preloaded laptop, you can take a look at System76 ( http://www.system76.com ). They only make Linux computers (laptop/desktop/server), though they don't sell through Amazon.

The thing about Amazon is that they sell almost worldwide and they also have customer support.

I wouldn't want to buy a System76 laptop in Romania and ship it back to the States if it needs service under the warranty.

You can get ThinkPads loaded with your distro-of-choice from [Los Alamos Computers](http://laclinux.com/gnu/Start).

The main point was the "from Amazon" part. It really seems like the largest online retailer would have some company, no matter how big or small, selling Linux laptops.
