Slimbook Executive 14 (Core Ultra 7 255H)
A 1.2 kg all-Intel Linux laptop from a Spanish vendor with a 99 Wh battery for about 8 hours and slotted RAM to 128 GB. Linux is out of the box bar one documented quirk: it wakes from suspend if left plugged in. Priced in euro, EU-friendly.
Compiled from public sources and community data, not hands-on tested. What that means.
Best on ubuntu LTS. Confidence: high

ubuntu-lts: Ships Slimbook OS (Ubuntu LTS based) or a choice of distros. All-Intel, Arc 140T on the i915/Xe driver, so the hardware is clean. One documented quirk: if you suspend while the charger is plugged in, the machine wakes back up. Dedoimedo's long-term reports track this and a related random-wake regression after a firmware update. Suspend on battery is fine. Slotted DDR5 to 128 GB. Dedoimedo: Slimbook Executive long-term report →
fedora: Arrow Lake H s2idle wants kernel 6.11 or newer. Same plugged-in suspend behaviour as on Ubuntu; it is a firmware-level quirk, not distro-specific.
