[ale] Best sub-$300 Light Linux Laptop?

[JD]

I'd never buy a laptop used. Too much risk of mistreatment. Things that can be

OTOH, my professional experience was with hardened laptops used by almost 20K
people. It is just scary what can go wrong with computing devices, especially
mobile versions.
