Anyone know where I can buy a Linux laptop in Chicago. In a bit of a hurry so I do not want to mess with buying online and installing.
Thanks

I would recommend something along the lines of Thinkpad. They are normally great for Linux installations.

ThinkPad are usually very good with Linux In my past experience.
A bunch of choices online you also might check craigslist they might have some nerds selling Linux machines.
I sold my desktop work Linux pre-installed on it over CL.

We use HP servers and have the same issue with the brand new gen 9 servers.
I always disable it on Lenovo systems since it's one more thing to
fight.

Install was a peace of cake once I figured out how to get past the
Windows BIOS traps. Nice to have Linux on a brand new machine instead of
all the old hardware I'm used to running it on.
