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.

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.

2gb of ram is plenty unless you run firecucks

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/
