What hardware do you use and recommend?

Hi,

I am a new Linux user and want to buy a used laptop to play around in the guts of the system on. That way I can keep my primary machine stable.

What hardware are you using and would you recommend it as a Linux lab project for a new user who wants to jump in the deep end and try out all kinds of things.

Thanks for your suggestions.
