A used ThinkPad with way more than 8 GiB of RAM can cost way less than $600. I picked two up for $300 each. You're not gonna run frontier open-source models on it but it's a very nice dumb machine for basic tasks, or even the archaic practice of programming by hand.

That is what I have for me. Refurbished thinkpads, returns from banks and such, for 1/3 the original price.
