Cheap Laptops

These definitely aren't the latest and greatest, but they are fairly low priced.

Dell isn't a bad brand. These have enough juice to run most modern Linux Distro's.

Since I don't work for walmart or amazon, hopefully I can get away with spam/selling links here

At the other end of the spectrum, we have laptops like...

Both of those are Chromebooks... not a product that I would recommend for Linux. Both only have 16 GB of internal storage, probably eMMC considering their price. They also likely cannot be upgraded to larger SSD's. RAM also is probably not able to upgrade.

In the past few years I've bought several similar cheap Lenovo Ideapad Slim models (except brand new, about $120 "Black Friday" prices)... but they are not Chromebooks. And for the extra cost, they have more storage, 64 GB or 128 GB. They too cannot be upgraded (RAM or SSD), but they run Linux well and the extra storage makes them acceptable for my needs. A reminder though... when I bought them new, it was difficult to find a distro that could use the built in wireless, as it is with many "latest-greatest" computers. They do not have ethernet jacks either, so a wireless dongle was needed right away.

Hmm, cheap laptops.......I don't buy lappies any more but you can find lots suitable for running Linux on Ebay & charity websites, it's where I get all my machines these days.

(Just bought a Lenovo Intel i3/4GB ram including PSU for £13.49 from Cancer Research Ebay store.)

I didn't say they were the greatest... Only that they could work.
If you want to go with a "real" laptop, the price goes up accordingly.

I buy mostly older laptops, clean them and replace the disks. So they are working 5+ years and i have a good machine for a good price.

Cheap options can be a great deal as long as they do the job. I have a couple of cheap laptops in addition to my main one and I am more than happy with their performance.

You get what you pay for imo.
How much of a gamble are you willing to take.
Chromebooks are good if you use them as they come OOTB.
Can't go wrong for the cost of that one and if it last only a year ya got your moneys worth imo.

This particular mission proved being a hit-or-miss case for me. From now on Dell is now "Dull" instead: no sparkles, especially for the cost that ain't too cheap. Linux certification was some bad joke at my own expense, pilots will probably reach maturity when it's ready to die on me anyway... And of course, the slogan « Fix once, break many »re-verifies again and again with every new "spin" release. Too bad i can't get a 2nd try, it's a Windows product basically and there's no motive for returns in that arena. Just plain dull; i needed it nearly as much as a punishment...

Dull, dull, dull.
