Hey all, I need a new laptop and don’t want to spend much money. It just needs to run Linux/Debian, have a functioning battery and be able to play internet videos, nothing more. I have an old Lenovo Thinkpad X220 right now and I’ve heard that Thinkpads are still okay, but does anyone have more concrete suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    The best new laptop is the one sold by your local ewaste recycler after being checked over and refurbed with a fresh install of Mint! If you don’t have one of those shops handy then buy refurbed online. I hear Thinkpads are good though. My shop has never had one when I’ve needed new gear.
