I have an old T400 which I use as a TTY cient, that I can SSH into if I need to. It has 8g ddr3 ram and I popped in an SSD, it can even take a second harddrive if you take out the CD tray!! It only cost me €20 second hand.
But really, if you’re using the laptop as a console client, just look for a laptop with an internal SSD and that has a minimum of 8 gigs of RAM. Make sure the parts are easily interchangable as well, older thinkpads are perfect for that imo.
