I actually contacted them about getting a custom, bare metal laptop, they will ship world-wide, as long as you purchase via bank transfer.
The ?519.99 price works out to around the same as the prebuilts we have available locally, with the same less shipping costs caveat. [no VAT for international orders I'm assuming ]

This company was the only one I found after 3 days of googling that actually will custom build a laptop and sell it bare metal.
[ I refuse to pay the MS tax when Ill never use the MS product ]

The only device it might be problematical for is the wireless, just depends on the specific chipset for it.
everything else is devices I have used under linux and works fine.

require the inclusion of windows.
They will not sell bare metal or offer any os but windows. I contacted ASUS directly about custom laptops.

Though with the exchange and shipping costs I bet the prices are about the same, I just checked your link and picked the closest config, $1,548.00 CDN

Did not include Windows. So I assumed you didn't have to buy it.

Bare metal you are correct, not available.
