Tuxedo Book BA15: AMD-only and Linux-preinstalled ...
The common reason to buy a computer preinstalled with linux is to not pay the windows/ios tax. Not that the price would be different though.

For me it’s more about making sure the hardware support is good.

The sad fact is that the Microsoft tax is cheaper than the extra costs niche manufacturers need to charge because by nature they have worse economics of scale.
