Very good initiative Alan !!!

Just for the information of your readers that would like to buy something in France, there is a similar initiative there, from the group that fights actively the linked selling of windows with any new computer:
http://bons-vendeurs-ordinateurs.info/

Unfortunately, it is not very advertised for… I hope that putting the link here will help build a web of trusted vendors arround the world

Thanks again for the initiative !

I haven’t had any reason to complain about Novatech. You can choose your OS (or none) with most of their systems. The laptops we got from them are Clevo – so a reasonable OEM and they have been reliable.
