How is it ridiculas? And that "cheap laptop" would be a lot cheaper if i didn't come with windows installed.

Dell and HP pay less than $40 for Windows. Likely a lot less.

It adds up though and if it cost HP and dell £40 they would charge £50 or £60. This wouldn't be as  bad if not for the fact you don't get a say in whether you want it installed on almost evry big brand computer.

The $40 margin was comparing the same Dell PC sold with Windows and Ubuntu. If Dell has their own extra margin it's <$40.
