[nfbcs] [EXTERNAL] Re: Laptop without bloatware

[Jessica Dail]

Hi,
I have a Mac, with windows 10 on it.
It’s very fast, on both sides, it’s stable and fully accessible.
I installed windows completely independently, using a USB drive, and a pair of headphones.

Thanks,
Jessica

They sell other brands as well, but one of their selling points to me is that the systems they build don't have a bunch of extra stuff on it.  Mostly I am happy with my system from them, other than I am having some trouble with Windows Update that I think must be due to the way things were initialized.  I don't know that for certain, though.  I paid about $650 for a 250MB SSD drive, a 1 TB drive and 16 GB Ram and an Intel I5 processor.  The case style is a tower.  It has a terrible keyboard with a layout that was a bit like a laptop keyboard but I used another keyboard.
