Hey everyone, I’m looking for a cheap, old laptop to put Linux on and mess around with. I mainly want to see if I can find replacement software for some of the stuff I do on my Windows desktop, but maybe also some light gaming with Steam and Heroic launcher. I’d like to get some opinions on what brands/models I should be looking for on Craiglist/Ebay/etc.? Thanks!

    and last I looked, many no longer have physical buttons.

    Physical TrackPoint buttons have been back for over a decade at this point. The *40 series dropped them, but the *50/*41 brought them back. The latest two P1s got rid of them, but those sure aint what OP is goin for.
