I’m looking for a laptop that is very compact in size, and relatively cheap. The more internal storage the better. A detachable keyboard and touchscreen would be nice too but aren’t essential.

I plan to install Linux mint on it and just use it for light tasks and file management, so it doesn’t need to be too powerful.

    Avoid lenovo. Their build quality went to crap and they’re easily the least repairable laptop on the market these days

      I’ve got a Lenovo IdeaPad being repaired right now. I cannot recommend one of these things id go for something else.

      I need to clarify that you are talking about Lenovo’s consumer-grade lines, like the Ideapad. Their enterprise line (Thinkpad) is completely different.

      IdeaPad line is a hot mess. Had one with a broken hinge where the threaded inserts meet thin plastic, Enter key stopped working just after the warranty expired, replacement keyboard sagged since I had to break all the plastic rivets, and another with a broken DC barrel jack.
