Finally, one of the major manufacturers of pre-built computers is starting to sell machines without a pre-installed operating system, which obviously opens the door not only to lower prices but also to a world free of bloatware.
ASUS Open, as the concept is called, is a new approach from the manufacturer and is likely to get many enthusiasts actually taking a closer look at their machines. Asus now seems to have realised that there is a growing audience that would rather install their own software than put up with yet another bundle of pre-installed apps and forced AI features.
And even though it's unlikely to attract the "average user," it feels like a smart move. And not to mention that having more options is nice, and in this era when alternative operating systems like Linux are actually becoming significantly more user-friendly, it's truly spot-on.
Is this something that makes you want to check out ASUS machines?
