What model was easiest for you?

It would be nice to have a cheap Linux laptop to play around in a Linux desktop environment.

Anything T470 and before was good IMHO. That excludes the T440 where they screwed up the touchpad arrangement.

I use exclusively apple M1 kit now and keep Linux in the cloud. I honestly can’t go back now to a thinkpad.

I was thinking of using it as a way to force focus, and not care if anything happens to it. Lugging around a mbp 16-inch is a bit heavy sometimes.

MacBook Air plus insurance :)
