  • ThinkPad T430

    pros:

    • old
    • extremely cheap
    • usable performance, can be upgraded to average performance
    • libreboot compatible
    • very compatible with Linux
    • great keyboard (if you mod it with a t420 keyboard)
    • trackpoint (controversial)
    • hot swappable batteries
    • repairable
    • display can be upgraded to IPS if you manage to find a converter board

    cons:

    • old
    • bad battery life (if you keep the stock one)
    • TN panel
    • not blazing fast (more than enough for the tasks you mentioned though)
