I bought a Lenovo ThinkBook from NewEgg, preconfigured with LinuxMint, because I didn't want to risk driver issues, it had to "just work." So far so good. My physical and computing demands are not that heavy.

They sell higher end preconfigured also.

I don't think Newegg configures computers themselves, I believe it's third party stores that do the upgrades and sell the openbox items using Newegg's marketplace.

    Yep. Good point.

    I just mentioned NewEgg for sourcing. By "they" I meant Lenovo.

    Tangent: I went to NewEgg because they have fought the good fight against patent trolls. I was so disappointed to discover this third party relationship had taken hold there. It's one reason why I hate shopping at Amazon anymore.
