Favorite out-of-the-box accessible Linux laptops?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

One of the problems is that must machines now adays have secure boot which unfortionetly, this aliminates what Linux distros you can install.  For example, I have an older hp notebook which at the moment has both Debian and ubuntu on the same drive.  Other  distros such as arch, and slint will not even boot  with secure boot enabled and disabling this can not be done without sited help.  Thanks.

I have never bought a laptop that comes with Linux pre installed, why 
should I, when I can just do it myself, and then install everything I 
want/need in a system.


My favorite machine thus far would be my Huawei MateBook D15. It has a 
very nice, grate, big keyboard, yes, also a rather large screen, but 
what can you do? The battery is also reasonable.

Warm regards,

And yes, like you, screen size isn’t important to me. Still, with a larger screen there is video capability that can be retasked easily enough. Also, since most laptops often use screen size as a depending factor, a larger one will have the advantage of a larger keyboard.
