Hey all, I need a new laptop and don't want to spend much money. It just needs to run Linux/Debian, have a functioning battery and be able to play internet videos, nothing more. I have an old Lenovo Thinkpad X220 right now and I've heard that Thinkpads are still okay, but does anyone have more concrete suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I know an informatics guy‌, and he says thinkpads are good. He gets them from the electronics trash at work.
