• I’ll buy used, so don’t want latest and greatest. It won’t be my main laptop.
  • to run linux obviously.
  • good battery life, light, not too small to use, but large enough to type on (obviously can do without numeric keypad). not too fragile!
  • I’ll be doing some light python work, perhaps some c/c++ but I’m not after a workhorse, just something for quickly fixing bugs, or making notes on
  • sub 200 GBP / 250USD I guess

I’d be interested in hearing recommendations, and also what to avoid!

    This was my immediate thought. An M1 Mac laptop is still a very useable laptop, and the battery life on them is fantastic.

      M1 works decently with Linux these days but anything newer than that barely works.

      I was thinking Intel era given the price-point.
