Does purchasing that laptop involve payment of M$tax? I'm in the market for a laptop, but have a religious objection to paying M$taxes.

I just bought a new laptop last week. I went with an MSI GE62 from Microcenter. The version I got has a 15.6" screen, 16GB ram, and 1TB spinning disc, though they seem to have two different versions now.

You might look at a Dell Inspiron. There is the XPS 13 Developer
Edition, which is delivered with Ubuntu, but is just a bit over your
price range.

In addition, there is the Inspiron 7000-series 2-in-1 (where the
keyboard folds around back to make the unit more like a tablet),
available in 13", 15" and 17" screen sizes. You can get the 13" with
touchscreen, a Core i7, 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD for $1,100. A year
ago I bought myself the 11" version, they were still making them with
enough power to be useful then. If Ubuntu and its relatives work for
you, they are well-supported on Dells.
