Comment on Ask HN: I Want to have a small Linux laptop. What are my options?

Comments

If you don't need crazy big RAM or crazy big CPU, and unless it's for games you probably don't, then go old.

Old Lenovo X1 Carbons are <1.4kg and perform really well. Gen 7 or so can be had for a few hundred bucks.

I just bought an MS Surface Pro 5 to run Linux and the hardware is delightful. Less thrilled with Ubuntu/Gnome in tablet mode, but as a laptop it's rather good. AU$200 it cost me.
