My current "beater" laptop Is a Lenovo P71. Wouldn't take Windows 11, so it got chucked in the recycle pile. I snagged it, provisioned a power supply and an SSD, and it runs like a dream with Linux. I like it enough, that I may even purchase a battery for it, so it doesn't die when I move it around.
