6 months old laptop

Laptop touchpad has no driver but I regard that as an advantage
When I bought a laptop for the wife about 6 months ago I discovered that OpenSuse wouldn't work with the touchpad, which required some weird driver under Windows. On looking however, there was a BIOS setting which disabled the "enhanced" functions of the touchpad and hey-presto, OpenSuse now works perfectly with it, multi-finger gestures and all.
That laptop came with W8 on a 500GB HDD and 2GB RAM. Before even charging the battery, the bottom was off, an SSD was in place and the RAM was upped to 4GB. I did try to find a "naked" laptop without Windows but utterly without success.
