I recently bought my sister a used Thinkpad X280 for 90€ on ebay. Perfect condition, has multiple USBC ports with display support and is super compact and ~1.2kg
Comment on What type of laptop do you recommend for simply browsing the internet?

Buy a used one, ideally refurbished. Those can be incredibly cheap. Feel free to slap any basic out of the box os on there, free os’s like Mint or Zorin are very beginner friendly, and you should be good to go.

I don’t know if other distros have that too, but Ubuntu and Mint have a nice graphical driver manager. Really simplified things when I used Nvidia GPU and Realtek WiFi card. Just click to install, restart, there you go.
