Hmmmm can I outsource this tech question to the Fediverse..?

The hinge on my Lenovo laptop has broken and can't be easily repaired so I need a new laptop.

I will install Ubuntu onto it and wondered if anyone wanted to recommend a suitable and *inexpensive* replacement laptop from e.g. Curry's in the UK?

So much choice and I don't know what to pick. 14 inch screen and light is good. #Linux Thanks in advance!
