For a similar use case I ended up with a Lenovo "nano" desktop. The IoT models are designed to be run continuously and, uh, it runs Windows too which I guess is a bonus. $300+ on sale.

These look really cool. Unfortunately, I can't seem to configure one without Windows.

It should be a nominal task to install Ubuntu on top of it, worst comes to worse it doesn't work and you send it back to Best buy.

I am not concerned about the effort of installing Ubuntu. I prefer to not pay the extra money for Windows, however little it might be. I already have other Windows computers.

Is this a moral argument, it would cost you more to find a specific Linux laptop in most cases.
