For what purpose? Writing emails and surfing through the world wide web?
How does their computers work, if you boot the kernel with "threadirqs"
for real-time tasks? Will it cause less or much jitter for pro-audio,
or CNC?

That a machine "woks with Linux" is a vague claim.

I bought hardware that was announced as Linux compatible. But it
wasn't. I got my money back and my dealer removed the vendor's claim
from the catalogue. There are often pitfalls such as, "you can connect
a drive to this interface and it will work with Linux", missing the
information "you can not boot a Linux from a drive that is connected
to this interface" and similar issues.
