    Any second-hand business class laptop that fits your budget, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.

    Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they’re still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.

    You’ll have to install Linux yourself, but generally support for older hardware is OK.

    IMPORTANT: make sure the BIOS isn’t locked before buying.

      Second this. I have a 10 year old Lenovo running Ubuntu that suits my minimal needs just fine
