FWIW: Around two months ago, when it was clear that with the corona situation I'll need another laptop, for my kids' home-schooling, I went to the nearby KSP store, asked what they can offer (without even searching their site), and bought something that I can't find on their site anymore, but similar ones are: https://ksp.co.il/?select=.268..271..132..1784.&kg=&list=1&sort=2&glist=0&uin=0&txt_search=&buy=&minprice=0&maxprice=0&intersect=&rintersect=&store_real= This link to a search result gives you all their Dell laptops with Linux on them, cheapest first, which is currently ~ 2500 NIS. Mine was ~ 2300 NIS and has 256GB SSD (vs 512 for cheapest now). It arrived with Ubuntu 18.04, everything worked out of the box. My kids generally like it, and I too (but hardly ever use it, other than for helping them), definitely for this price. Cheapest there with 16GB RAM (which is what you wanted) is ~ 4000, quite a lot higher, but perhaps you can add RAM to one of the others, no idea. Of course, if you buy a brand name, you can get it in any other store, and are quite likely to get exactly the same thing, as opposed to someone building it for you from parts.
