Laptops with Linux at “Colombo” Store

Today I was taking a look at a store called Colombo, inside D. Pedro’s Shopping. Then I just got surprised!!! =P There was a notebook from a manufacturer called Positivo that has Linux as it’s primary OS…

I’ll be honest: I really don’t know about the quality of the hardware and support that Positivo gives to it’s customers but the idea of having the same model of laptop but one with Linux and another one with Windows is great ! I know that some big manufacturers already do that but this was the first time I saw with “my own eyes” (and in Brazil! =) ).
I forgot to see wich distro it runs but anyway, it’s very cool. I’m posting the photos I took. Just to compare, the price of the Linux one is R$ 1.999,00 (~ US$929,00 ) and the one with Windows R$ 2.499,00 (~ US$ 1.162,00). The last photos are from another laptop at a store called Fnac. The message says: “This copy of Microsoft’s Windows must be activated by Microsoft in order to let you log on. Do you want to do that now ?” hehe =P

Linux one Windows One  Both...side by side  Acer with Windows Message  Annoying message =)
