I use a 2015 HP Elitebook, decent business-class notebook, with fedora. Everything except the fingerprint reader seems good and it has been solid for a few years. I have a faster laptop for gaming but this thing has lots of RAM (24GB) and SSDs and it is about as fast as I can expect a computer to be most of the time. I think one of these, or a similar era decent Thinkpad, can be bought for 150 bucks used or 2-3 refurbished properly. I may get several more years out of this thing before I pick up another one, and between that and one of each thing PINE64 makes (and a couple of other assorted linux devices not counting the servers I run at work), i have all the linux I want, sometimes more than I really want. heh.
