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 don't have any direct experience, but the CHUWI CoreBook X 14 gets pretty good reviews, and they make even cheaper laptops than that with similar memory and processor, but cheaper chassis and 16:9 screens.
