Why canonical didn't get their shit together and didn't

There's a reason they don't make laptops, and it's called profit. They wouldn't profit off of it. Take a first year business class and you'll understand.

Literally anyone who would buy a linux laptop is just going to format the drive and install their favorite distro and it's not going to be ubuntu.
They would be much better off selling blank laptops without an OS, but then they don't get their micro$hit kickbacks.
