I have the J4 from Think Penguin. https://thinkpenguin.com ; It's a
13-inch Clevo laptop with 8 gb ram and 250, or so, gb ssd. I ordered it
with Trisquel 9.0 GNU/Linux, but they'll put in anything you say. They
set up my initial user as I'd asked, so, there was no trouble with my
first use. Machines from ThinkPenguin are set up to work with
fully-free distros, like Debian, Trisquel, and the like, but they'll run
anything. I'm now using Fedora 35, with the linux-libre kernel, and
it's working fine, almost. I find that the machine will use about 25%
of battery while sleeping about 12 hours. I have contacted ThinkPenguin
support, on this, but have not yet heard anything. To sum up: TP are
great at making the sale, but follow-up could be better.
Cheers,
Dave H.

Hi,
Hypra provides 14 inch machines, with Debian and all set for
accessibility (-Orca, good voice, Mate desktop, Firefox, Libreoffice,
Thunderbird, etc). They provide also a high human support to learn and
maintain the machine. Just the machine is not powerfol (NL51GU for 15
inch).

I am looking for a Linux machine to use in graduate CS courses. I
probably
want Ubuntu or another common distro that comes with the screen
reader (I
assume Orca) and other a11y stuff already installed. I like small, light
laptops (since I don't use the screen) that have decent memory and
battery
life. Which machines are your favorites.
Thanks for the tip on VmWare the other day, BTW.
