this question is too broad without additional context around usage. what is it for? you can get an incredibly inexpensive laptop that will run Linux perfectly serviceably, and act as a terminal to utilize cloud services / the web. just keep in mind that if a game costs more than the laptop, the laptop very likely will struggle with the game. you likely won’t be running local llms. but if you are always in a location with connectivity, this may be irrelevant to you. meaning you can spend very little on your hardware, and save the rest for services. if you want something “more” locally, details on what that looks like will help. what you prioritize as well. screen, keyboard, material, storage, ports. ethernet or sd card slot, if you had to choose? gpu ram requirements? storage? examples like that.
