Sounds like a use case for a ChromeBook.
You would have to check which Chromebooks let you install Linux.
Also some of the cheaper Windows laptops would do. In my experience, they all let you install Linux.
What is your maximum budget? You can get refurbished ones for less than $100. If you are willing to pay $200, you can even get new laptops with up to 15 inch screen size:

- FerretFred 4y ago^ THIS! I installed Linux on a cheap Chromebook and it was great. I ended up ditching the Chrome part altogether. Powerful enough, great screen and battery life.

- toast0 4y agoIf you're getting a chromebook, it's worth checking if it's on the list of models supported by Mr. Chromebox[1], an alternative firmware that gets you mostly normal UEFI booting with no mandatory waits or loud noises or chance of accidentally wiping. Chromebook ram and storage can be pretty small and newer models have both soldered, so shop carefully, but like for like, chromebooks tend to be a bit less expensive than windows laptops.
