Linux on Chromebooks just might get me through a masters in computer science

I graduated in 2017 in Computer Science using a Thinkpad x210 that cost me £50 (~70$). And never had a issue. I haven't used a chromebook in a while but back then they where less powerful than a x210. Nowadays, if I have to recommend a laptop for coding or CS course I would recommend whichever Thinkpad X-series you can afford.

if ram is required DDR2 or DDR3 sodimm ram is cheap. And any SSD for storage works (I used the HDD that came with it until the 3rd year where I got a Samsung Evo SSD).
