Did you manage to buy this machine without paying the Microsoft levy?

One of the few things I like with Chromebooks is that you don't pay a license for software that's bundled with it.

I don't know how the price is calculated behind the scenes. I paid a total of $1,900 and am happy with what I got for that price. I completely deleted Windows 10 when it arrived and installed GNU/Linux.

You do pay for Chromebook software with your data.
