I was looking into buying a used or refurbished laptop and installing a Linux distro on it. Mostly want to use it for surfing the web, but I am sure it will have a lot of other uses. What are some good sites to buy a laptop? What should I consider as far as the type of hardware goes (Gpu, WiFi, etc)? What would be good distros to consider? I have been working with Linux for a long time, so I would not consider myself a beginner. Thanks for any advice.

    Does it actually need to be portable? If not go with a minipc

      Yes, I want something I can easily move. I have a RaspberryPi that I use for retro gaming, but having to move the monitor and kb/mouse is a pain. I want something I can put on the kitchen table while I eat (munch, munch).
