HP ProBook 460 G11 (2024)
A plain 16-inch business box for around 1000 dollars: slotted RAM, 9-hour battery, Linux fine after the usual HP sof-firmware and fingerprint dance. The screen is a dim 300-nit 1200p. A sensible fleet machine, not an exciting one.
Compiled from public sources and community data, not hands-on tested. What that means.
Best on ubuntu LTS. Confidence: high

ubuntu-lts: Meteor Lake-U (Core Ultra 5 125U), the entry of the Core Ultra line. Standard Intel support on kernel 6.8 or newer. The recurring HP business-laptop catches apply: speaker audio routes through SOF and wants current sof-firmware, and the fingerprint reader is a Goodix part that needs the right libfprint driver and firmware. Wi-Fi is the Intel BE200/AX211 depending on batch, both fine on a recent kernel. 16-inch 1200p panel at 300 nits is functional, not bright. s2idle is solid on the U-series.
