I'd like to spend around 250 euro, and for the os linux is ok. Thanks for the help. P.S. sry if the sub doesn't fit but I didn't know where to post this P.P.S. sry for bad english

I just bought the Chuwi Gemibook XPro. I bought it as a “throwaway” laptop that I could take everywhere (I run an email business and need to be able to fix issues 24/7) and I wouldn’t really mind if it got stolen. It’s not an excellent laptop, but it’s exceeded my expectations for how cheap it is. I would call it a good laptop overall, and great for the price. The keyboard is not bad. Not as good as pricier laptops, but not bad like other laptops I’ve tried at this price point. The trackpad is probably the worst part, and that’s saying something, cause even it’s not bad, just ok. Anyway, it’s $250 USD, so I think that’s around your price range.
