@itsfoss, ThinkPad got me thinking why on Earth the default position for trackpad buttons is on the bottom. No matter whether you are typing or using a trackpad, it's still more convenient to use the upper ones

From my experience with refurbished HP Elitebooks vor Dell Latitudes, I'd say they are similar in build quality and Linux compatibility. My daily driver is a Thinkpad E590 and its hinge and USB-C port have issues. I use HP and Dell machines for testing, not daily, but they seem well enough.

@LiftedLorax No one brand, but the mainstream ones and Linux-focused ones work really well.

so Think Pad is the most Linux friendly then? I was about to install Ubuntu on my elite book, as I also have an old Think Pad... I might do that one first then...

For me, ThinksPads are still the best Laptops (for Linux) out there. 😌
