New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Cheap laptop for Linux without GUI (for writing)

Ask HN: Cheap laptop for Linux without GUI (for writing) 4 by locusofself | 0 comments on Hacker News. Hey HN, I'm on a quest for a distraction-free writing device and considering a super cheap laptop which I can just run vim/nano on. I'd like: - Excellent battery life - Good keyboard - Sleep/wake capabilities (why is this so hard with Linux?) I'm thinking some kind of chromebook? Maybe an old thinkpad?
