But the point is that the linux laptop in GP's example was _cheaper_ (and my personal experience suggests this is a trend).

So assuming what you posted is true, why would companies offer a discount for the linux version?

Yes, it makes no sense. I would happily pay more for a laptop with linux support. Meaning that the vendor guarantees that throttling, hibernation and other tricky stuff work as intended. But nobody offers me this option.
