I picked up a Lenovo Thinkpad X131e for $30 this weekend, in mint condition. The keyboard and screen are immaculate.
I opened up the inside and it's got 2 memory sockets and a space for a 2.5" SATA drive. I tossed a 32GB SSD I bought as a test drive and Chrome sees it as storage. Nice.

Nice find! I've won 2 netbooks on ebay for $25 and $30. If one is patient there are a lot laptops out there to be had. I remember when a laptop was so far out of reach at $2000. I could only afford building my own desktop. Using my kithen table as my work station. Tower under the table. Wires, modems, monitors. Now I can hold all of that in my hand. ;-)
i remember when i wanted laptops and notebooks so bad and i couldnt afford them. now i have the money and i buy them but they sit around doing nothing.
i'd rather use my phone while sitting in the chair watching tv.
I understand that hard. Sometimes you want a full-on experience with your tech, and other times you just want digital white noise to recharge after a particularly taxing rabbit hole. Just make sure you put your phone in a Faraday cage when you're not using it on the go, otherwise you're just giving another way to track yourself.

Wait, why does it have to make calls?
:D
Have you played with Termux at all?

i have a similarly anemic ThinkPad X140e. i believe most of these types
of machines were originally targeted to the education sector. mine will use 85-90% of the cpu just looking at the task manager :)
