I am looking for a cheap, light, tough, relatively fast laptop to replace my decade-old lenovo. It will be my daily computer for browsing, documents and occasional photo editing. I will install eitherUbuntu or Mint.
I am looking at thinkpad x13 gen 1. It looks like the processor has an impact on the way it will be running, with different performances between ARM AMD and Intel.
Can I buy either one or I there a real compatibility issue with intel?


On Linux, that does really not need much computing power or RAM nowadays. I use a thinkpad T490 with 8 GB RAM with Debian and Gnome / i3 on it. Runs like a charm. A friend of mine is working happily with a Thinkpad X220.
