not gonna make it my main laptop. just wanna play around with linux and have an extra laptop to bring around if i dont wanna risk having my main one broken.
also where should I buy a used thinkpad?
Craigslist amazon or ebay?
Thanks in advance.
none of them you wannabe hipster faggot
I think the X200, T400, or T500 are the oldest you should go. They have a mobile Core 2 Duo, which isn't too bad to comfortably use a modern word processor and web browser.

t420 for 150 bucks or the x220 for alittle more, remember dont put it on your balls.
Try reading the general, faggot. This question gets asked several times in every /tpg/

X220
Or you could just buy an Intel chromebook and install Ubuntu if you're really just looking to mess around.

Prices get driven up a little on amazon and ebay because /g/ has managed to meme Thinkpads into retaining their value more than most laptops. Craigslist or Gumtree are your best options.
T60 or T61
linux topics it can address:
dual core
Discrete video

X60s
I have a T60 and it's fine for what I use it for.
I have T420 with Debian on it. It's not much, but enough for comfy programming station, if you don't need to run anything memory consuming (no playing with Cassandra, gonna eat all of your resources).
