And also, beware the bloatware.

I think that even if I were going to buy a Windows computer, I'd throw in the money for an OEM copy. Only way to be sure.
LTK:
Not even necessary. Your computer comes with a Windows license, although it takes a bit of digging to find the product key for it. Third-party programs can do it but I don't remember which one I used. Once you have it though, you just download an image of your Windows OS from Microsoft, create a bootable USB with it, and do a clean install of Windows without all the manufacturer's crap on it.

It's ALIVE! I have actually taking days replacing most of the internals of my desktop. I kept having to take breaks every couple of hours because the anxiety left my hands shaking and heart racing. But now it's working. Passed POST beautifully when I started it up, and now I just need to download a new ISO for the OS install (going back to SUSE).
hedgie:
Assuming that this job becomes at least a semi-regular thing, I'll need to replace my laptop (my phone is rather ancient and *still* more powerful). I was wondering here if anyone here had experience with Hackintoshes, such as which (mid 2016) were the best bets for trying to make one. Brand-wise, I lean towards Lenovo or Asus, but am open to anything in the $500-$900 price range, preferably somewhere in the middle.
