I noticed some clearance laptops on bestbuy.ca but a number of them were cheaper if they were labeled as "French". I presume this means that they have a French OS but does this mean they would be unusable to someone who doesn’t speak any French (such as myself)?

Yes... the OS & all factory installed software is in French.
So is the keyboard layout. ... that's the real problem.
I've used French keyboards & they are not that different, however, they require getting used to & the modification of key assignments for English use.
If you don't speak (let alone read) French ... you will have to install an English version of Windows on the PC, and will not be able to use any of the included utilities & software included on the French Recovery CDs.
No a good idea for you to buy this unit ....

yeah the version of windows will possible be in french, but also the keyboard layout maybe not qwerty style keyboard.
