[kwlug-disc] laptops with Linux preinstalled

[Ron Singh]

They are cheap because delivery of a significant number of this particular
SKU was refused by a big US entity and the stock came available.
Damn good price for the specs and defo worthwhile getting, just keep a
spare int batt around, CN has them for about 45-50 USD and I always keep
3-4 around as a just-in-case.  Really, the T470s is mighty fine, but the
batt mfg used for the int batt on some models of the T470s has questionable
product quality.

The CN stuff I get have Samsung cells and so far(15-ish months) so good.
FWIW.

Thanks,

Ron S.
