I guess you live in an area where people get rid of better laptops than
where I live. The last few times I looked at used laptops all the laptops
I saw were pretty ancient, and the prices for them were fairly
laughable... and not in a good way.
The last time I bought a RPi I did consider a brand new Chromebook (which
could be switched to Linux) which was on sale at some place like Best Buy.
It was very low end, but still comparable to (at least) an RPi4, and given
that it came with storage, power supply, screen, ..., it was arguably a
better deal. But I know that the Pis are happy running 24/365 with very
modest power needs, and since the Pis I have do run all the time, I went
with another Pi in the end.
Cheers.
Jim
