Atypical migration to Trixie



I currently have Debian 12.8 on a Dell Latitude [4GB RAM, 150GB disk] which I purchased as a refurbished machine years ago.

The local Staples has a sale on of overstocked laptops. There is a selection of Lenovo [used the brand before] and HP [used their instrumentation in the 70's] machines. All have at least 8GB of RAM and suitably large disk capacity.

All are capable of running Trixie.
For the best experience what options should I favor?
"Laptop" is the only form factor of interest.
Screen size is not an issues as I primarily use an external 18" display driven by arandr.

At least one machine offers a very large SSD. Potential problem(s)?

For perspective, I rarely use more than 2/3 of my 2GB monthly data cap.

After the new machine is operational I will address partitioning issues of my current machine and do a "from scratch" install of Trixie.

Comments?
Any questions I haven't thought to ask?
TIA
