The joy of owning and using PC's unlike other computing devices (though this is about to change for the cellphone industry with the touted Open Moko (http://openmoko.org/) project), is the ability to modify and customize the system whichever way you deem fit. For most this starts at the Operating System level and of course there software therein.
Currently I am in the market for a new Lappy given that I had to give up my previous one a while ago. My taste for an Asus lappy is greater than ever. Yesterday whilst perusing through the ASUS site http://www.asus.com/, I found out that they are now selling barebone lappys; hot as ever. Given the predicted boom in the laptop market, maybe this is the way vendors should be moving to. Unfortunately non of the resellers had great deals on the barebones but it is a good start. There is a story posted on Digg that references Barebone notebooks or as they are also called Whitebooks.
Update: Here is a chat on whitebooks:http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/chats/trans/sysbuild/05_0729_tn_sys.mspx
