[Make a Post]I use the x200 with debian quite comfortably. It only has 2gb of ram rn, but I would like to upgrade it when ram prices go down. I have an SSD which makes it run quietly and fast. I came from an x60 and this shit is way better.

Is the only place to get reasonably priced x200's ebay? I've looked at stores like https://store.vikings.net/x200-ryf-certfied and https://shop.libiquity.com/product/taurinus-x200 and they both price it at $600+ which seems pretty retarded. Also is the x200 the only laptop capable of being absolutely free of the intel management engine?

I think there's some website which sells computer shit for bitcoins, and they sell a variety of thinkpads. However, I have forgotten what the site is called.
I got mine in a batch with a friend. I spent maybe $60 on my machine and just took the SSD out of my x60. I bought a genuine battery from ebay aswell so I have spent about $80 on my x200. And yes, I think the only resonably priced thinkpads are on ebay, as long as you don't mind a self-refurbish.

I thought I was fine with 2GB ram. Then I wanted to compile llvm, run a modern web browser, IDE etc. Now I have 8GB in my X61. ram is cheap, and definitely worth the upgrade if you are running out.
Why not X201? It goes for 150€

Otherwise just look for refurbished, e.g. this (you will have to check authenticity, I didn't): https://www.reusetek.com/lenovo-thinkpad-x200-refurbished-laptop/

Simple, TUI-only, what more could you possibly want?

This thread is for asking for recommendations on hardware to buy or software to use for a specific purpose. We can hopefully give each other some non-shit options.
