System 76 makes a great product in this space honestly. I always recommend them to people who are interested in trying linux. They ship with linux pre-installed, its exactly like buying a dell with windows.

I am not affliated with them, I am a customer and I like their products.

This. I bought a System76 laptop in 2011 which is still working very well with lubuntu for office and browser and such, it's now the laptop of my neighbourhood association. I could without problem upgrade RAM and drive to SSD, I could even swap the keyboard after I broke it.

I bought a new one from them this year, still incredible hardware.

My only issue with them, which is a big one, is that they ship only from USA. So as EU customer I have to pay VAT on top!

I concur. I own a System 76 laptop, and it runs PopOS. It's been stable for years (taking the regular updates). They make a variety of hardware products ranging from portable/lightweight laptop to beefy engineering workstation.

(also not affiliated with them, just want to support good products/company)
