I just bought a Tuxedo Infinity Book Pro. Impressively inexpensive, but can't comment on what it's like it yet.

Other suggestion is System76, that is if you were to opt for a Linux system.

For me a cheap Chromebook does the job.

"The job" being communication, record-keeping, and entertainment.

In terms of hardware I also have a software-defined radio for communication and a direct input box for music recording.

Between Android, Chrome extensions and web services I don't need any generic Linux programs but if I did I could install them (and have in the past).

If I needed to do video editing, statistical analysis, or gaming I would need a different device. I think for the vast majority of people something like what I have will serve them perfectly fine.

I've disabled all the Google telemetry in Chrome & ChromeOS but of course I don't really know for sure that I'm getting a private experience.

I sort of tried this, but I do need a bit more out of a computer for some graphics and video work.

I do agree, a chromebook or similar is probably enough for most, although the privacy aspect is an issue unless you take a lot of extra steps.
