    How old are we talking? If the CPU is >10 years old and/or some kind of ARM, it may not have hardware encryption acceleration, which means it’ll happen in software. I did that once, it was horrible. lscpu |grep -i aes should probably tell you what you need to know.









  • I love how all the answers so far are for 13-14 inch laptops.

    Look at the Surface line. The Pros are 12.5 inches and the Gos are 10.5. There’s a lot of used ones out there that can be had cheap.

    My Go 2 gets terrible battery life running Linux, 2-2.5 hours, I’ve heard is a lot better on Windows but I never tried.

    I thought I would hate the kickstand and floppy keyboard, but it works better than I thought.
