The obvious thing that comes to mind for fanless laptops given recent news is the Macbook Air with the M1 chip, but clearly that isn't offering a similar thing in terms of freedom and user control of the hardware/software.
I wish I could have something like MacBook Air (a durable stylish laptop to carry around for coding, writing and browsing the web wherever I go, full HD screen to fit more text, as much RAM as possible - to load complex editor/IDE configs) but 100% Linux-compatible and at a fraction of the price.
Here is what I'm ready to sacrifice:
I don't need fanless, I don't need crazy battery time (half a day is more than enough), I don't play games nor do I need videos to play in resolutions exceeding 720p (360p is more than enough for me unless I try to watch a video on coding where I need to read the code), I don't need any OS but Linux. I don't need it to be new (can be refurbished) as long as it still is easy to find in the EU (US would add import taxes).
I thought PineBook Pro can kind of fit this because it seems being a RaspberryPi-like in a MacBookAir-like shell and RaspberryPi4 actually feels Ok.
Can you suggest something that fits better than PineBook Pro and MacBook Air do?
