We just bought a new laptop the other day, and while out comparing models and prices, we noticed that several top name brands did not come with an OS disk. Apparently that is a new trend in computer marketing, but it's really stupid and very anti-customer if you ask me. My hubby (who is our computer guru) says that most computer manufacturers will still send you a disk for around $10 if you just call and ask for it...but you have to know to do that...and some still won't/can't for whatever weird reason.


We did make sure that the laptop we finally chose did indeed have an OS disk with it.
