Hi, i run Manjaro Linux very well on a IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad, it’s a x201 12” lightweight laptop (i5 at 2.5 ghz, 8 gb ram, ssd). You can find very cheap thinkpads on ebay with core2duo processors that run linux very well: x60,x61,t60,t61.. > > Thanks in advance. > > -Brian > > ------------------------------------------- > Brian P.
