I need a recommendation.
I am officially getting my grandma a Linux Laptop, as she inadvertently damaged her MacBook Air (those things just do NOT like tea!!)
My budget is just shy of 1,000 USD, and I'd ideally like to stay within half of that.
I'd also like to keep something about as light as the MBA, and not smaller than a 13.3" screen.
I was thinking of getting a used (probably five year old) Thinkpad X1 Carbon, but I'm not sure how rugged they are compared to the old fashioned Thinkpads.
My other thought was one of the more affordable #Slimbook options, but I'm worried about shipping time/cost and support all the way from Spain. (Although, of course, I don't expect any support for a 5-year-old used Lenovo. XD
I'm also considering #VanillaOS as the distro, because I want something as safe and basic as possible. My grandma is 103. Yeah. 103.
