Help me choose a second device for Linux: Thinkpad or Old Macbook?
Basically title says it all. I daily drive a Legion Y530 for my tasks. But I'm looking to get a secondary device for cheap that can run Linux and get most basic tasks and some light web browsing done.
I don't want to spend more than ₱5000 on this since its just a secondary device and I plan to use Fedora as my distro.
I also don't mind a little experimentation and tinkering, so im all good with older devices.
Looking at my local Facebook Marketplace I found 2 options. My choices are as follows:
- Thinkpad x240 i5 with 4GB RAM and a non working Internal battery for ₱3400
- Macbook Air 2014 i5 w/ 4GB RAM without a charger for ₱3500
Between the two choices, which would you recommend for this weekend project of mine? Thanks in advance!
