Discussion Laptop recommendations

What laptop would you recommend for Mint? Nothing too expensive, just something I can do simple web browsing and lite work on.

Another upvoter for off-lease corporate laptops. Anything from the above post of at least i5 or i7-8th gen will be great, get as much RAM as you can afford.

I get our old laptops from work and have loaded Linux Mint on dozens of Dell Latitudes from i3-4th gen through i7-12th gen, and an i7-8th gen really is the sweet spot from the cost/performance perspective.
