The availability of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat on MALIBAL Aon laptops marks a new era of possibilities for Linux enthusiasts and professionals alike. With its robust feature set, enhanced security measures, and seamless integration with MALIBAL’s high-performance hardware, this combination offers an unparalleled computing experience.

Whether you’re a developer, data scientist, or enterprise user, the MALIBAL Aon laptop running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS provides the perfect platform to unleash your potential and take full advantage of the latest advancements in the Linux ecosystem. 

User experience and performance enhancements

GNOME 46 brings a host of performance and usability improvements including file manager search and performance, expandable notifications and consolidated settings options for easier access.

We’ve also bolstered our provisioning options through our installer with ZFS encryption and by integrating autoinstall support. That, along with our new App Center and a dedicated app for firmware updates, brings you a richer experience — and with better performance to boot.

Your development and data science tools, right at home on Ubuntu

As the target platform for open source software vendors and community projects, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ships with the latest toolchains for Python, Rust, Ruby, Go, PHP and Perl, and users get first access to the latest updates for key libraries and packages.

In fields such as data science and machine learning, Ubuntu is the operating system (OS) of choice for many of the most popular frameworks. This includes OpenCV, TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch and Kubeflow, as well as our Canonical Data Science Stack, which allows you to set up ML environments with ease right out of the box.

Everything you would need in your organization

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS has a bevy of features that make it feel right at home in your enterprise.

Netplan is included as the default tool to configure networking on desktop (as it has been the default on server), allowing administrators to configure their Ubuntu estate regardless of platform. The recent release of Netplan 1.0 brings with it additional features around wireless compatibility and usability improvements such as netplan status –diff, making Netplan a great complement to Network Manager through its bidirectional integration.

Ubuntu’s prevalence in engineering and data science teams in enterprise, academic and federal institutions often means IT administrators rely on Canonical’s Landscape for monitoring, managing and reporting on the compliance of machines across desktop, server, and cloud.

With Windows remaining the corporate OS preferred by other departments, integrating with Active Directory simplifies the work of administrators by allowing them to manage Ubuntu instances using the Active Directory knowledge they’ve grown accustomed to.

The additional support for Group Policy Objects extended these capabilities, along with privilege management, remote script execution, certificate autoenrollment, network shares, network proxies, AppArmor profiles and a host of other requested functionality.

Underneath the hood, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS also includes additional security improvements for those developing and distributing software within the Ubuntu ecosystem.

From a more robust distribution of Personal Package Archives (PPAs), to enhanced restrictions of unprivileged user namespaces in AppArmor, and an improved proposed pocket for granular package installation, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS gives you more options to secure your applications and your data.

Are all the parts soldered to the motherboard?

In many modern laptops, especially thin and light models (like Apple’s MacBook Air or Pro, Dell’s XPS 13, or many of Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon models), the memory, storage, battery, and wireless module are often soldered directly onto the motherboard.

However, as part of our commitment to the Right to Repair Movement, the memory, storage, battery, and wireless module on all MALIBAL laptops are user-upgradeable or user-replaceable.

Can your laptops be charged or powered via USB-C?

All MALIBAL laptops can be powered via the Thunderbolt 4 port.

How do I track my order after it ships?​
You can view your tracking status via the order details page in your account.
How do I get a quote?

If you need a quote for any reason, e.g., to submit to accounting for approval, before ordering, simply add the laptop(s) you want to purchase to the Cart, then click Checkout, and on the checkout page, click Convert Cart to Quote. We will email you a PDF of the quote with a link to make payment once you are ready to complete the order.

How do I cancel an order?

You may cancel an order any time up until it ships. After it ships, you will not be able to cancel it, but will instead have to use our return policy in order to return the laptop for a refund. To cancel an order, simply open a sales ticket or sales chat and give the representative your order information, and they will cancel the order for you and send you confirmation via email and text.

How do I make a change to my order?

You may make changes to your order up until it ships. To modify an order, simply open a sales ticket or sales chat and give the representative your order information and specify which changes you want to make.

When is my order shipping?

If all parts are in stock, the average build time for laptops is 5-7 business days. This means laptops will ship 5-7 business days after the order is placed. If a component is backordered, it will say which parts are backordered in your order confirmation email.

To see the estimated delivery date of your laptop, please check your order confirmation email for the Estimated Delivery Date. You can also see this information on your My Account > Order Details page. The estimated delivery date is the build time (plus backorder delay, if applicable) plus the shipping time.

Once your laptop ships out, we will email you the tracking information. An adult will need to be at the address to sign for the package when it arrives.
