It's time to ditch Windows for good, since 7 was the last marginally acceptable version.

Looking at a Lenovo Ideapad 5 with the AMD CPU and discrete graphics, since I don't do a lot of gaming and I need battery vs GPU horsepower. It looks like this is a fairly happy with Linux machine, any thoughts?

True about Chinese manufacturing but there is a difference between owned and not. I may give Toshiba/dynabook a shot once my current HPs die.

Yikes, yeah it looks like that n200 would be a bit of a slug today and I bet the battery life is next to atrocious.

I popped it's specs up as far as they would go. A Core2Duo from an old Acer, 4GB of RAM, and a SSD.

It's ok if you're doing email, messaging, and office, it's a great travel just need to stay in touch machine. Anything else and it's not having it. Kind of the reason I don't want to go with an older machine regardless of it's compatibilities - those are already on their last legs as far as web browsing and stuff goes.
