The model is Ideapad 1.15UL7 and comes with Win 11 installed.
I have been running linux on it using an external USB stick.
I would rather eliminate the USB if I can.

Linux works well with Lenovo/IBM machinery.  These days I only buy Lenovo.
I customise it when buying it to work very well with Linux.

And there are always good refurbished models on the market for a good

 Yes, I forgot to mention that my machines are refurbs.
A lot of Lenovo laptops come from offices that replace
their machines regularly whether they need to or not.
 

That same thing.
What often happens is that a 3rd party company has the duty to supply and maintain the desktops, and after 5 years or so they are not interested. They will supply new, take the old back, get the disks crushed and pass what's left onto a refurb company.
Its all about being able to warrant the hardware software and support.
And accountancy rules. 5 years and they are written off against tax already.
We benefirt from machines selling at a lower price than the processors inside them
