Heck yeah
my recommendation: a second-hand, 16 year old acer aspire one that runs windows xp, ms-dos and the 32bit version of puppylinux...if it works it works. (yeah its just my setup)
been working flawlessly on original hardware since 2008
i even play games and make music on that thing
Good luck opening more than like 5 browser windows on those old thinkpads

I got some used chromebooks on Ebay for $40 each (3855u, 4gb ram, 32gb ssd), I would recommend them if you don't have any money to spend on a laptop. It's not going to be running anything super demanding, but its shocking how much it can do.
Some things I have run on it and had a decent experience: Blender, FreeCAD, Portal, TMNF through proton, Celeste, Minecraft Java, MuseScore
Lol ok enjoy your lenovobios and being trapped on x86 forever
What's wrong with x86 all of a sudden?
ARM is still pretty damn experimental compared to x86.
Bullshit mostly. x86 is fine & has been getting a lot more power efficient (if you can get a work day’s worth of power, you have met the benchmark). Wake me up when RISC-V is here.
