          I bought a MOTU Ultralite AVB with my Asus n550jv with a
          double boot W10/ubuntu. The ultralite avb is awesome. USB2,

              If I were in your situation, I’d stick with a Thinkpad.
              They are expensive, but IMHO worth the price as they are
              rugged, reliable, and repairable. In general, Linux
              distress run well on their hardware. Another good option
              is a Panasonic Toughbook which are admittedly bulkier and
              expensive but you can get one with a built-in handle so
              you look like you work for the CIA/NSA and use it as a
              blunt-force protection device (I’m sure Katja knows).
