Games/Etc??  I'm not flaming you, but rather a honest [rhetorical] 
question: does the target market of these laptops have any access, 
exposure, or dependency to the aforementioned 'Games/Etc'?

Also not a flame, but I must correct an inaccurate statement: MANY 
games/etc WILL run on a Linux machine; 'many games/etc wont run' on a 
Windows machine, either.  Also in fact, right 'out the box', most Linux 
Distros have more 'games/etc' available than the alternative. 

The only 'dummie perspective' is the pseudo-dependent perspective of a 
society which has made a 'closed standard' the standard.
