I use Cheap Acers for $150 they seem to run Windows 10 slow enough to be a craptop. They also run Linux just fine because Linux has less of an overhead. In Windows 10, Acer laptops have a huge CPU time working because it struggles to keep up with the main OS.
I have one I bought new for $300 on Amazon in the summer. It's my main Visual Studio development PC. I have it hooked up with a second monitor. Honestly, it runs everything perfectly under Windows 10. The only upgrade I performed was to add some extra RAM.
