So, I need to order a Debian-compatible laptop to arrive in Italy very soon (like next week or early the week after that). Two 2TB SSD drives (we're setting up RAID 1 mirroring), 64 GB RAM, a good GPU (it will be used for some graphics-intensive applications), and solidly built (it will soon be in Egypt and used in desert conditions).

If it has Debian GNU/Linux pre-installed, that would be amazing! But if not, we can install the OS -- we just need to know that the laptop is 100% Debian-compatible and that we're not going to run into any installation issues.

Anyone have recommendations for where to order from?

(I know about System76 and have had great experiences with them before, so they're already on the list. Their shipping page indicates that maybe they can meet the "must arrive in Italy very soon" requirement, but I'm trying to gather options right now.)
