    Be me.

    Get out to buy new simple laptop for mum.

    New laptop must have HDMI port. At least 500GB HD and 14" screen.

    Lenovo slim 5 snapdragon x
    Is the cheapest one.

    500GB HD
    HDMI
    14" screen
    It has 16GB Ram.

    Find out that snapdragon x graphic card is not compatible with any out of the box Linux distros.

    Unsure about latest Ubuntu LTS too.

    Have to install latest version Ubuntu 25.10 ARM with only 9 month update.

    And I was gonna buy a cheap simple laptop and install mint on it.

      @Herman_Hetherington

      I don't think that I have ever bought a new PC for myself. I have mostly bought second hand PCs

      With Linux this is not an issue since they don't use much computer power.

      But now the new ones are so cheap... at least that was what I was thinking...

      I fckd up....

      Need install Ubuntu on snapdragon x Karma. :pepe_monkas:

      @EvolLove Did it have to be new? Probably would have been better off going with something refurbished, unless she needed always on cellular connectivity...

      I also have a asus I got from a buddy's family when he passed. It only has 4gb ram, 2 cores, and 64gb emmc, but it boots fast, and has a microsd port for extra drive space. It also has 2 USB 3 ports and hdmi. I think the newer versions run around $200.

      It's not bad for just doing simple browsing, etc. I used it as a portable terminal when working on my network because it's so light. It doesn't have ethernet though, so I use a dongle.

      With only 4gb, windows would crunch. But I only use about 500mb idle with my Linux build.

      @Humpleupagus

      I think that was the option.
      It had a bigger screen. But that one was 7.500SEK $750 instead of $600

      That is great.

      I have an Asus myself too.
      It is from 2015 and has 8GB ram.
      I changed the hard drive 2 times.

      First to the smallest cheapest SSD I could find. Unfortunately after a few years it just died on me.

      So I got new 2TB SSD. and then I mounted the original 2TB harddrive where the DVD used to be.

      I recon I will use it for another 10 years.
