Older Thinkpad (eg T460)?

If you can stretch to a 13 incher (no pun intended), LG gram might be your best bet. Around 965 gram weight, reasonably priced, can run Linux without any problem.

I still believe Framework laptop 13 is the best choice when going with 13 inch.

Just go with a Framework 13. Yes it's 13 inch instead of 12 inch. But you will get the best possible Linux laptop out there. And it's also fully repairable and upgradable. I have the latest Framework 13 AMD 7040, yes AMD. And... do not forget to select the new 2.8k display. Allowing for the first time to just select 200% DPI scaling that just works for Linux! So no scaling issues.! https://frame.work/nl/en/products/laptop-diy-13-gen-amd/configuration/new

And select "7640U - 2.8K Display".

For what it’s worth, yesterday this thing was mentioned here.

This is overpriced. Have you looked at Starlite tablet?

Minisforum V3 is 12” and less than 1kg.

But it is not quite a laptop, expensive and very powerful - not sure if that suits you.

Linux wise, most of the stuff works (sleep, power profiles, volume buttons, fingerprint reader, face recognition, pen, touchscreen). Things that don’t work are automatic rotate/accelerometer.

I’m super happy with it, running arch, doing development and using VMs.

mfat OP ,

Thanks. I’ve tried tablets and still prefer laptop form factor.

You’re probably better off looking for hardware to meet your spec requirements and then looking into its Linux support.

Older thinkpads would come to mind, usually a good option. Generally affordable, repairable, and can be good for Linux.

mfat OP ,

Sub 13 inch thinkbooks are low-spec school laptops AFAIK.

Not the X series.

themachine ,

You never specified what specs you want/require

GPD might be what you’re looking for? www.gpd.hk

The 10 inch one looks interesting. Thanks! Are these compatible with Linux?

wildbus8979 ,

Considering you can buy it with SteamOS preinstalled, I’d say probably so yeah.
