If Microsoft Store provided a wider range of devices would you buy from them instead of other sites and manufacturers, based on availability and price?

For example: "MSI GS60 Ghost Pro - Signature Edition"
Buy MSI GS60 Ghost Pro-002 Signature Edition Gaming Laptop - Microsoft Store

I voted no, and not to hate on MS, but I buy from DigitalStorm and MS does not offer systems on a level like whats available from DigitalStorm.
Maybe in the future, but not at present.

I voted no as well. While the idea of buying a non bloated PC is awesome, i plan to stick to home built systems from now on, more power, and guaranteed to be bloat free

If you are patient and check at M$ Store often, sometimes you can find a whale-of-a-deal.

I voted yes.

Voted for other, just keeping the options open considering prices, discounts, shipping, custom build or factory build needs. I would not mind checking out MS and multiple others for a good bargain.

If I were in the market for a new computer, I would have no problem buying from Microsoft if the price was right.

I voted NO! unchecky and adwcleaner does the same thing and they are freeware

No junkware or any trial then not an issue for me.

However the next two description is yet contrary, considering that its picks may not appreciate by the user. Also some users prefer to purchase laptop without built OS for cheaper.

I voted no as i am capable of getting rid of any bloatware pre-installed i think.

If it just to be free from bloatware, i would not buy, better a clean install; but if all the parameters, drivers, services, processes are optimized, i would say yes.

Did you even bother reading the provided links? And what good is Unchecky and AdwCleaner on a PC with pre-installed bloatware? Nothing, not all preinstalled crap is adware/pup.

Spoiler: What is a Signature Edition PC?

Clean
Forget about any pre-installed bloatware that slows down your PC.
Fast
From startup to shut down, Signature PCs are the fastest around.
Protected
Signature PCs come with Windows Defender—no annual contracts and free updates. Non-Signature PCs come with trials that can cost hundreds of dollars over the lifetime of your PC.​

Every Signature Edition PC meets Windows hardware certification requirements:

Keyboard Quality
We measure and check keyboard design quality, keycap travel and usability.
Touchpad Sensitivity
We spend time hands-on with each model of touchpad to check design quality. In addition to hands-on testing, we have robotic equipment for measuring touchpad quality.
Pixel Brightness
We verify the screen resolution and brightness for every model to ensure it meets the highest standards.
Hardware component verification
If necessary, we disassemble PC models to validate the accuracy of published specifications to ensure the device meets the advertised specifications.
Other Characteristics
The Signature team checks additional areas as needed – for power, heat dissipation, sound, weight, and other design characteristics. We also measure overall PC performance.​

The 'Signature Edition PC' is like a clean Windows Install. About the Unchecky and AdwCleaner, will protect you from "real" bloatware. There are more and more apps that install PUP/RiskWare on updates. About the "pre-installed bloatware", have you seen any of that ?

If you already have some "CrapWare" AdwCleaner will fix it. The idea behind is the same as with pre-installed OS on a laptop or PC. Everything works well and it's optimized but you can't install another OS, if you will update the "optimization" is gone.

I want to clarify something.
If we are talking about a laptop then if the price is good i want mind buying from MS.
But if we are talking for desktop i would like to build my system the way i want.
About the example yes i would bought the MSI laptop from MS store because the price is very good.
In my country the same laptop costs 1999 euros.
Voted other.
