You need more than to disable Secure Boot; you need to enable Legacy Boot -- and the newer laptops no longer permit this to be done -- in order to make them more "secure".

Not ALL new laptops force Secure Boot and UEFI Boor -- but those that do will not install Linux distros.
I have no idea what HP offers on the different models -- since we have no interface with Sales. You would have to contact HP to find out what they have available.

I confess I do not understand all the issues regarding secure boot, but I have seen articles that claim that Ubuntu can be installed if secure boot can be disabled. If so, why is it necessary to have support for legacy boot?
