I am/was considering a Chromebook because of the lower price and the opportunity to run Linux on it

If you were running Linux on it wouldn't this be a non-issue?
If that's what you're looking for, buy an off-lease/refurb/used business class notebook that's a few years old. On the ThinkPad side, a T450 or T450s, maybe a T440s if you're going to disable the touch pad, maybe a T430s if you're willing to go back 6-7 years but then you're really going to be looking at likely battery issues and higher weight.
