I'd recommend the Thinkpad E series (in India) that comes with FreeDOS
or no operating system. I support these models because they give the
user the choice to install any OS.

They are not very expensive, and have excellent keyboards. For a few
thousands more, you can add more RAM and benefit from the speed. They
are also not very heavy, and weigh less than 2 kg. The anti-glare
screen is easy on the eyes, especially when you spend long hours
before the laptop.

Most GNU/Linux distributions should work out of the box on these hardware.

Regards,

SK
