Greetings,

My Windows 10 laptop died pretty close to its fifth birthday, so I'm planning on replacing it with a Linux laptop. I've used it for conference calls (hosting the Toronto Perlmongers meeings), and some light Libre Office work, so I need something better than a Bare Bones laptop, but not as wicked as a big fat gamer's rig.

Refurbished is OK, and pre-loaded with Linux is also fine. Budget is perhaps $600-$800.

Dell Latitude E7270 Ultrabook 12.5" FHD Touchscreen Core i7-6600U-2.6GHz works quite well with Ubuntu 18.04. Unfortunately, it is now out of stock at refurb.io, and Newegg only has Grade B refurbished units.
