Hi All,

 

I am looking for a DOS Laptop.

Going to Install Arch Linux in it.

Will be using it for Browsing Purpose Only.

 

I am from India.

I am going to buy it online.

 

can some one share links to good DOS laptops please?

 

AMD Ryzen 7 latest series I am interested in without Graphic Card.

So, uhh, what IS a "DOS laptop"?

Wouldn't that basically be ANY laptop?

"A high ideal missed by a little, is far better than low ideal that is achievable, yet far less effective"

 

If you think I'm wrong, correct me. If I've offended you in some way tell me what it is and how I can correct it. I want to learn, and along the way one can make mistakes; Being wrong helps you learn what's right.

DOS stands for Disk Operating System and is the predecessor of Windows.
What you said is incorrect.


And afaik there's maybe only 0,01% of the notebooks out there that come with no OS...

(possibly they get a kick-back from Microsoft to put it on there!)

 

 

 

 

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

I am unfamiliar with the market in India, but I would suggest looking around locally for a used laptop that has (or at least can accommodate) 4GB or more of RAM and just stick the OS you want on it. Since you are using it just for browsing, a lightweight Linux OS should work fine with just 4GB of RAM.

Hi, Thanks for writing above.

 

As @HanZie82 replied to me. I agree with him that I am wrong about DOS.

 

I have to correct the title of post to looking  for "New Laptops with no OS installed"

 

Examples:

 

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 2021 11th Gen Intel Core i3 15.6" (39.62cm) FHD Thin & Light Laptop (8GB/256GB SSD/DOS/2 Year Warranty/Arctic Grey/1.65Kg), 82H801DHIN https://www.amazon.in/dp/B09BCQCDF2/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_MYQJ0GD3Q5TW9AYY9N2Z

In some markets there are sellers who put FreeDOS on cheap laptops for some reason.
