They hardly get any credit, bit HP laptops are cheap, sturdy and play very well with Linux (or at least Ubuntu)

I just got a HP x360 15z, AMD Ryzen 7 (2700U), Vega 10 GPU, 16GB ram, 256gb SSD and its working great so far. You'll need ubuntu 18.10 or some other distro with kernel 4.16 or newer for GPU support. Wifi is in kernel 4.14 LTS. I've got gentoo running with sway and its quite swell.

I have a very minor cosmetic defect from manufacturing, but HP is allowing me to send it off for repair or get a complete replacement. I choose a repair since it can be done in under a week compared to 2-3 weeks lead time on a replacement.
