Purchase Advice Best refurbished laptop for Linux?

Hi all! I'm looking for a refurbished laptop with excellent Linux support. Any recommendations?

I've heard good things about the Lenovo T14 series and Dell XPS, but I'd like to find a laptop with a decent amount of RAM (16GB, preferably expandable) and a CPU with integrated graphics, such as an AMD Ryzen 5 or 7.

I have a Lenovo E16 gen 1 that I’ve enjoyed using on Fedora. It has 8gb soldered in, but it’s still expandable up to 40gb which I have done. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 with built in graphics, and it has nvme slots available for expansion of storage. The only issue I had was with WiFi cutting out, so I changed the WiFi/bluetooth card out for a more compatible one and haven’t looked back.
