I am thinking about buying a: KUU-K2 14.1" IPS Screen All Metal Shell Champagne Gold Office Notebook Intel Celeron Processor J4115 8GB DDR4 RAM 256GB SSD Windows 10 Laptop Computer with Fingerprint Unlock Backlit Keyboard
https://www.newegg.com/champagne-gold-kuu-k2- workstation/p/1TS-00BK-00024?Item=9SIANGPBUS2481 (Currently on sale for $306 with free shipping.) The one potential problem that I see is that it (optionally?) allows locking based on your fingerprint on, iiuc, the power button. Does anybody (here) use or know much about fingerprint recognition? I'd prefer not to enable that if it is an option or not supported in Debian -- it just strikes me as another potential point of failure that I don't need. Asides (that you don't need to read): It meets most of my criteria (at least 8 GB RAM (I'd prefer more, I'll look into expandability), reasonably fast (2.5GHz. 4 Cores and 4 Threads), sufficient size hard / ssd drive (128 GB would be sufficient), and type C USB port to plug into a docking station that I already have. (I'd prefer AMD as a processor, but ...) (Aside: my intent would be to keep Windows 10 for the one application that I use every 4 to 5 years (updating the map(s) in my Garmin GPS unit (even though I know I can install a "free software" map instead). but basically to install Buster to do some development that requires C++17, and, incidentally (if I am successful with that development) possibly take the laptop to make presentations at various sites.)
