    Tuxedo is a well known and respected linux laptop vendor and nearly everyone I’ve talked to loves their device. One guy I talked to did say they’ve had issues with build quality and bad webcam however. Mostly though people I’ve known are very happy with the product especially with tuxedo os. I’ve asked about build quality with positive responce from everyone else. I hear the webcams still pretty trash though from everyone. Behind system76 I’d argue them to be the most well known. It’ll likely be what I pick up next too, but my current hp laptop is still more than reasonable 5 years on.

    As for price especially with that screen I’d say it’s pretty reasonable.

    If you’re still not convinced, I’ve also heard good things about slimbook and personally like their style a bit better
