I didn’t listen anyone, and I bought Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7..
I'm still happy with my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8, which I bought in January, and is running with openSUSE Aeon.

Questions regarding MINT and laptops
I purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 8 and it just works. I have Mint 22.3 and have also tried an ungodly amount of other distros from a USB drive and they all work. No driver issues! Webcam works, fingerprint work, etc. I purchased 2 Acer laptops and each one had issues. No fingerprint drive

What's a good budget laptop for Linux (for my son)?
I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 8 on eBay and it has been great. You can get a Gen 6 to Gen 8 for under $300. I personally use LM 22.3 Cinnamon but I have tried an ungodly amount of distros using a usb drive and they all worked great!

Upvote this post if your install of Ubuntu 26.04 went technically well
I installed it on a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen 8 and it’s snappy as all get out. It is giving me better performance than the last version. Especially when it comes to updates via the Pro account.
